Is Working From Home Benefiting Moms - Or Adding To Their Workload?

"Working from home allows us to 'have it all,' but do we end up instead 'doing it all' and taking on even more responsibilities?"

"64% of mothers felt they were responsible for the majority of child care during the pandemic, compared to only 35% of fathers."

"Post-pandemic, 78% of mothers reported doing more in managing their children's schedules and activities in two-parent households."

"For many, working from home has created a new kind of crisis; moms juggle work and family in a never-ending double shift."

While it grants them flexibility, it also exacerbates their responsibilities, leading to a phenomenon where they may be doing more than their fair share of domestic duties. Research shows that during the pandemic, mothers in two-parent households took on the majority of child care and supervisory roles, a trend that continues post-pandemic and raises questions about gender roles in the home.
