Gender-specific labour market effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Germany: Similar employment effects, but higher additional child care burden for mothers

Abstract

"Unlike previous recessions, the recession caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic in spring 2020 had similar effects on men’s and women’s employment. Closures of schools and child care facilities led to additional burdens for parents and mothers provided more extra hours of child care than fathers." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
