摘要

本文研究了新冠肺炎疫情对日本女性就业的影响。我们的估计表明，有孩子的已婚妇女的就业率下降了3.5个百分点，而没有孩子的已婚女性的就业率仅下降了0.3个百分点，这意味着育儿责任的增加导致母亲的就业率急剧下降。此外，即使在学校重新开放几个月后，离职或失业的母亲似乎也退出了劳动力队伍。与妇女相比，有子女的已婚男子的就业率没有受到影响，这阻碍了缩小就业性别差距的进展。

COVID-19 and the employment gender gap in Japan

This paper examines how the COVID-19 pandemic affected female employment in Japan. Our estimates indicate that the employment rate of married women with children decreased by 3.5 percentage points, while that of those without children decreased by only 0.3 percentage points, implying that increased childcare responsibilities caused a sharp decline in mothers’ employment. Further, mothers who left or lost their jobs appear to have dropped out of the labor force even several months after school reopening. In contrast to women, the employment rate of married men with children was not affected, which hindered progress in narrowing the employment gender gap.
