“…21 One explanation for the higher rates of exit among lower-earning women with school-aged children is a loss of school as an inexpensive mode of childcare. Additionally rates of homeschooling increased during the pandemic, and homeschooling may have been more difficult to combine with work for lower-income women or women who were unable to work remotely (Musaddiq et al (2021)). Note: The pandemic led to more exits among women with children under six relative to both before the pandemic and the Great Recession.…”

Women had larger increases in labor force exits than men during the COVID-19 pandemic, and increases were particularly large among women living with children. After controlling for detailed job and demographic characteristics, we find that the pandemic led to significant excess labor force exits among women living with children under age six. We also find evidence of larger increases in exits among lower-earning women living with school-aged children. The presence of children also predicted larger increases in exits during the pandemic among Latina and Black women relative to White women. Overall, we find evidence that pandemic induced disruptions to childcare, including informal care from family and friends, led to additional labor force exits by lower earning women and women of color.

“…In Figure 2, we show the percentage of district leaders in each of nine district subgroups who expressed declines for reasons other than redshirting (i.e., families keeping a child who is age-eligible for preschool or kindergarten out of school for an extra year). District leaders' concerns about enrollment declines comport with other research showing students leaving public schools for private and homeschooling sectors (Musaddiq et al, 2021).…”

Policymakers had hoped that the 2021-2022 school year would be a chance to recover from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic-related disruptions to schooling (U.S. Department of Education, undated). Instead, media reports of staff shortages, heated or even violent school board meetings, increased student misbehavior, low teacher and student attendance, and enrollment declines suggest increased-rather than decreased-problems during this third pandemic school year (St. George

“…3 In the U.S., public school enrollment declined noticeably in fall 2020. Musaddiq et al (2022) documents that homeschooling increased more in areas where schools provided in-person learning. On the other hand, in areas with virtual learning, private schooling increased more where instruction was remote.…”
