The impact of the lockdown on the division of labor in households
During the first lockdown, women reported spending more time on household chores and childcare than men. Two of the reasons for this difference are that:
- More women are affected by the reduction of working hours than men, especially for childcare.
- More women worked from home than men because of the occupations they hold.
