“…Research has also shown that on average, mothers tend to shift more resources toward children's education, clothes, and other household goods than fathers when they control resources (Lundberg et al 1996, Quisumbing & Maluccio 1999, Rubalcava et al 2004, Rangel 2006, Rosero & Schady 2007, Nunley & Seals 2011, Heggeness 2020a). An extension of this artifact in the current situation is that during a national crisis that closes schools, mothers will invest more of their own time and resources into home schooling, childcare, and domestic tasks than fathers (Sevilla & Smith 2020). One would be concerned about equality in the household if, for example, more mothers shift out of the labor market to assume childcare responsibilities, especially if they do not return to the labor market.…”
