Corona: Re-Traditionalisation of Gender Roles?
• The Corona-Crisis has resulted into a re-traditionalization
of care patterns and lead to an even more unequal
gendered division of care.
Corona: A Push for Gender Equality?
• The Corona-Crisis has affected male-dominated fields of
employment more strongly than women’s (BiB 2020).
• Particularly medium and lowly educated men were strongly
affected by short-work (IAB 2020). These men had more
time to engage with their children.

Conclusion
![Page 18: Corona & Care How the Corona-Crisis has affected Fathers ......Corona & Care How the Corona-Crisis has affected Fathers‘ Involvement in Germany Michaela Kreyenfeld (Hertie School)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062416/610827fb9c1d8411157dc281/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Elevator-Effect:
• Mothers bore most of the child care burden during the lockdown.
• However, the ‚lockdown-increase‘ in child care time was similar for both gender.
Effect-Heterogeneity:
• Medium and lowly educated fathers have altered behaviour most strongly.
• Some of this change can probably be attributed to the increase in short-work (more
research needed here).
FINDINGS
![Page 19: Corona & Care How the Corona-Crisis has affected Fathers ......Corona & Care How the Corona-Crisis has affected Fathers‘ Involvement in Germany Michaela Kreyenfeld (Hertie School)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062416/610827fb9c1d8411157dc281/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
LIMITATIONS
• We operated with small sample sizes. No distinction by
industry branch was possible.
• We only focused on couple households. The special
situation of lone and non-resident parents was not part of
this study.
• We only focused on time use by fathers and mothers and
did not study the division of care work.
• We relied on the subjective assessment of time use.
