Gender inequality in domestic chores over ten months of the UK COVID-19 pandemic: Heterogeneous adjustments to partners’ changes in working hours (by Anna Zamberlan, Filippo Gioachin, Davide Gritti)

BACKGROUND
COVID-19 containment measures led to a generalised decrease in working hours. The limited chances of spending time outside the home and the increased needs related to children and housekeeping triggered gender-specific reactions to unpaid labour. Little is known about changes in partners’ division of domestic chores in the months following the pandemic outspread.
OBJECTIVE
Focusing on the United Kingdom, we study whether couples’ reallocation of unpaid labour after a loss of working hours during the first strict lockdown (April 2020) lasted in the following months.Focusing on the United Kingdom, we study whether couples’ reallocation of unpaid labour after a loss of working hours during the first strict lockdown (April 2020) lasted in the following months.
METHODS
Relying on the UKHLS COVID-19 survey (April 2020 to January 2021) and on multivariate OLS regressions, we analyse the gender division of unpaid labour, differentiating couples according to loss of working hours and the subsequent recovery.
RESULTS
In the short term, the partner who lost working hours promptly reacted by increasing time dedicated to unpaid labour, and this adjustment endured over the following months. However, if the man recovered working hours, we observed pre-lockdown or even higher levels of gender inequality, especially in couples with dependent children.
CONCLUSIONS
The short-term reallocation of time to unpaid labour following the first lockdown translated into more gender equality only if the male partner lost working hours. In the following months, however, all couples went back to pre-lockdown (or even higher) levels of gender inequality, except those in which the man did not recover former working hours.

在英国 COVID-19 大流行的十个月内，家务中的性别不平等：对合作伙伴工作时间变化的异质调整（Anna Zamberlan、Filippo Gioachin、Davide Gritti）
背景
COVID-19 遏制措施导致工作时间普遍减少。在户外度过时间的机会有限，以及与儿童和家务有关的需求增加，引发了对无偿劳动的性别特定反应。在大流行蔓延后的几个月里，人们对合作伙伴分担家务的变化知之甚少。
目的
以英国为中心，研究在第一次严格封锁（2020 年 4 月）期间，夫妻在失去工作时间后对无偿劳动力的重新分配是否持续了接下来的几个月。在第一次严格封锁（2020 年 4 月）期间失去工作时间后的无偿劳动持续了接下来的几个月。
方法
依靠 UKHLS COVID-19 调查（2020 年 4 月至 2021 年 1 月）和多元 OLS 回归，我们分析了无偿劳动的性别分工，根据工作时间的损失和随后的恢复来区分夫妻。
结果
在短期内，失去工作时间的合作伙伴迅速做出反应，增加了无偿劳动的时间，这种调整持续了接下来的几个月。但是，如果该男子恢复工作时间，我们观察到锁定前甚至更高水平的性别不平等，尤其是在有受抚养子女的夫妇中。
结论
只有在男性伴侣失去工作时间的情况下，第一次封锁后将时间短期重新分配给无偿劳动才能转化为更多的性别平等。然而，在接下来的几个月里，所有夫妻都回到了封锁前（甚至更高）的性别不平等水平，除了那些男人没有恢复以前的工作时间的夫妻。
