Abstract

Abstract:The COVID-19 lockdown measures have challenged individuals to reconcile employment, childcare, and housework. This article addresses whether these challenges have reduced life satisfaction among German women by focusing on their labor market status and drawing upon a topical online survey (Kantar) collected in Germany at two points in time: May 2020 and November 2020. We find that part-time employed women were better protected against a decline in life satisfaction, but only during the first lockdown. Economically inactive women were most likely to experience a decline in life satisfaction during the first lockdown, but least likely during the second lockdown. Life satisfaction has further decreased between the first and the second lockdown, and the likelihood of a decrease has converged for full-time, part-time, and economically inactive women.

通过兼职工作获得保障?COVID-19大流行期间德国妇女的劳动力市场状况、家庭责任和生活满意度

摘要:新冠肺炎疫情防控措施给个人在就业、育儿和家务之间的协调带来了挑战。本文通过关注德国女性的劳动力市场状况，并利用在2020年5月和2020年11月两个时间点在德国收集的主题在线调查(Kantar)，探讨了这些挑战是否降低了德国女性的生活满意度。我们发现，兼职女性在生活满意度下降方面得到了更好的保护，但仅限于第一次封锁期间。在第一次封锁期间，不从事经济活动的女性最有可能经历生活满意度的下降，但在第二次封锁期间，这种可能性最小。在第一次和第二次封城期间，生活满意度进一步下降，全职、兼职和不从事经济活动的女性的生活满意度下降的可能性已经趋同。

期刊介绍： Social Politics is the journal for incisive analyses of gender, politics and policy across the globe. It takes on the critical emerging issues of our age: globalization, transnationality and citizenship, migration, diversity and its intersections, the restructuring of capitalisms and states. We engage with feminist theoretical issues and with theories of welfare regimes, "varieties of capitalism," the ideational and cultural turns in social science, governmentality and postcolonialism. We are looking for articles that engage in this exciting mix of debates that will be of interest to our multidisciplinary and international audience.
