Abstract

ABSTRACT In this research note, we assess whether White and Black women who left the labor force to take care of family during the COVID-19 pandemic display higher levels of gender linked fate. The COVID pandemic compounded existing inequality in domestic labor as many women were forced to leave the workforce when schools moved to remote learning and many daycares closed. The gendered impact of the pandemic may have disproportionately fostered a sense of a common bond among women who altered their employment because of the pandemic. We test this hypothesis using a survey administered on a non-probability representative sample of American adults. We find that White and Black women who altered their employment to take care of family displayed higher levels of gender linked fate than others. Our findings suggest that changes in the social context along with personal experiences are tied to women’s perceptions of a common fate.

家庭护理、新冠肺炎疫情和与性别相关的命运之间的联系

摘要在本研究报告中，我们评估了在新冠肺炎大流行期间离开劳动力队伍照顾家庭的白人和黑人女性是否表现出更高水平的与性别相关的命运。新冠肺炎疫情加剧了现有的家务劳动不平等，因为当学校转向远程学习和许多日托中心关闭时，许多女性被迫离开劳动力市场。疫情的性别影响可能不成比例地培养了因疫情而改变工作的女性之间的共同纽带感。我们使用一项对美国成年人的非概率代表性样本进行的调查来检验这一假设。我们发现，为了照顾家庭而改变工作的白人和黑人女性比其他女性表现出更高的性别命运。我们的研究结果表明，社会环境的变化以及个人经历与女性对共同命运的看法有关。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
