Did women end up doing more childcare during lockdown - ONS stats published

[stumbledin]

There have been some other threads on this issue so thought I would just post about these stats that have just been released
www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/parentinginlockdowncoronavirusandtheeffectsonworklifebalance/2020-07-22

I wish they’d publish the methodologies behind these studies because for example, they do not mention whether any of the families studied included ones with a SAHM or SAHD. That would skew the data incredibly. Also be helpful to know the sample size, household income level, key worker impact, etc.

I'm fairly confident in saying yes without reading any statistics to be honest.

Definitely in my house, but oh was going out to work, even on his days off. I was working from home, home schooling and ended up doing most of the cooking etc.
I've been back at work since June and the homeschooling only happened on my days off, when oh was home with ds they didn't get round to it 🤔🙄

Yes x1000

Yes without doubt

Well ... pit me outmy misery. I thought yes but then remember something like 70% of the nhs are women, carers are mainky women and teachers are more women. Did the Dads help out?

Two thirds more according to the link in the OP

Oh shame. I had a tiny thought this might be the first time it was different.
Women rock. We did all the stuff!
