Has COVID-19 changed gender- and parental-status-specific differences in working from home? To answer this question, we used data from the Institute for Employment Research High-Frequency Online Personal Panel collected in Germany in the early stages of the pandemic (May-August 2020). Regression analyses revealed changes in pre-pandemic gender- and parental-status-specific differences in remote working-not only when strict social distancing measures were in place, but also after they were lifted: Fathers were no longer more likely than childless men and women to work remotely, and women were no longer more likely than men to work more hours from home when using this arrangement. Further, the results suggest that cultural barriers in organizations to working from home-which were especially prevalent for mothers before the pandemic-have decreased.
新冠疫情是否改变了在家工作中因性别和父母身份而异的差异?为了回答这个问题,我们使用了德国就业研究所高频在线个人面板在疫情早期(2020年5月至8月)收集的数据。回归分析显示,疫情前远程工作中因性别和父母身份而异的差异发生了变化——不仅在实施严格的社交距离措施期间如此,在措施解除后也是如此:有孩子的父亲与无子女的男性和女性相比,不再更有可能远程工作;而且在采用这种工作安排时,女性在家工作的时长也不再比男性更长。此外,结果表明,组织中对在家工作的文化障碍——在疫情前尤其普遍存在于母亲群体中——已经减少。
