During the COVID-19 pandemic, women disproportionately assume more unpaid activities, affecting their employment.
Describe the influence of COVID-19 on the employment of caregivers of children and adolescents from a gender perspective.
Cross-sectional study in three high-complexity hospitals in Bogotá, Colombia from April 2020 to June 2021. A subsample of the FARA cohort was taken, including those patients with a positive test for SARS-COV2. We took as our analysis category children older than 8 years and younger than 18 years who had a positive SARS-COV2 test, as well as, caregivers of all children with a positive SARS-COV2 test. This subsample was drawn from the FARA cohort. A survey was applied to them. We carried out a descriptive and stratified analysis by age group, educational, and socioeconomic level.
We included 60 surveys of caregivers and 10 surveys of children. The main caregiver in 94.8% of the cases was a female. At the beginning of the pandemic, 63.3% of the caregivers were employed, and 78.9% of those lost their employment. The vast majority of these caregiver were women (96.6%, = 29). A predominance of loss of work activity was documented in caregivers of children in early childhood 66.6% ( = 20), with lower education 66.6% ( = 20), and from lower strata 56.6% ( = 17).
Caregivers of children with COVID-19 with low educational levels and lower socioeconomic conditions, as well as those with children under 5 years showed greater likelihood of employment loss between the interviewed subsample.
在新冠疫情期间，女性承担了更多无薪活动，这对她们的就业产生了影响。
从性别角度描述新冠疫情对儿童和青少年照料者就业的影响。
2020年4月至2021年6月在哥伦比亚波哥大的三家高复杂性医院进行横断面研究。抽取了FARA队列的一个子样本，包括那些SARS-CoV-2检测呈阳性的患者。我们将年龄在8岁以上、18岁以下且SARS-CoV-2检测呈阳性的儿童，以及所有SARS-CoV-2检测呈阳性儿童的照料者作为分析类别。这个子样本是从FARA队列中抽取的。对他们进行了一项调查。我们按年龄组、教育程度和社会经济水平进行了描述性和分层分析。
我们纳入了60份照料者调查问卷和10份儿童调查问卷。在94.8%的案例中，主要照料者为女性。在疫情开始时，63.3%的照料者有工作，其中78.9%失去了工作。这些照料者绝大多数是女性（96.6%，n = 29）。记录显示，幼儿照料者中工作活动丧失的比例较高，为66.6%（n = 20），教育程度较低的照料者为66.6%（n = 20），来自较低阶层的照料者为56.6%（n = 17）。
在接受访谈的子样本中，教育水平低、社会经济条件差的新冠患儿照料者，以及有5岁以下儿童的照料者失业的可能性更大。
