The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented event with wide-ranging implications. Given that households are at the center of major changes affecting the entire world, the Review of Economics of the Household is publishing a series of issues on COVID-19 and the economics of the household. Here we review eight articles documenting the enormous costs of the COVID containment policies, in particular the school closures that ensued. Individuals paid a heavy cost in terms of disruption in their attachment to the labor force. Children could not go to school and parents were forced to provide extra childcare and spend significant amounts of time helping children continue to learn, while possibly working from home. Domestic violence became more common. These changes have often been traumatic, to the detriment of the well-being and mental health of large numbers of people. Women have paid a higher price than men, as many of the studies demonstrate. Our conclusion calls for policy-makers to prepare for the post-traumatic period: many households will need help.

女性为 COVID-19 付出的代价高于男性

COVID-19 大流行是一场史无前例的事件,具有广泛的影响。鉴于家庭处于影响整个世界的重大变化的中心,《家庭经济学评论》正在出版一系列关于 COVID-19 和家庭经济的问题。在这里,我们回顾了八篇文章,这些文章记录了 COVID 遏制政策的巨大成本,特别是随之而来的学校停课。个人在破坏他们对劳动力的依恋方面付出了沉重的代价。孩子们无法上学,父母被迫提供额外的托儿服务,并花费大量时间帮助孩子们继续学习,同时可能在家工作。家庭暴力变得更加普遍。这些变化往往是创伤性的,损害了许多人的福祉和心理健康。许多研究表明,女性付出的代价高于男性。我们的结论呼吁政策制定者为创伤后时期做好准备:许多家庭将需要帮助。
