Work and Family in the Home Office? Contested Intrafamily Division of Labour in the Corona Crisis/Erwerbs- und Familienarbeit im Homeoffice? Innerfamiliale Arbeitsteilung in der Corona-Krise auf dem Prufstand
Social inequalities appear to be growing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, both worldwide and between women and men This paper discusses opposing theses with regard to intrafamily divisions of labour: the risk of retraditionalisation and an increase of gender inequality on one hand and the opportunity for modernisation on the other. This paper systematises different strands of academic discourse and empirical findings on intrafamily divisions of labour and gender (in)equality Against the backdrop of location-independent, time-flexible working in the digital home office, and welfare state interventions, this paper concludes there is a simultaneous push for modernisation on a large scale, and a persistence of traditional gender dynamics on a small scale.
