“…This is possibly due to the fact that women preferred to work at home to take care of their children, since at the time of the pandemic schools and day care centres remained closed. Which is supported by various studies where they mention that females (70.3%) have a greater burden of domestic work and childcare than males (21.9%) [16,17].…”

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations globally have adopted novel strategies for survival, among which the abrupt transition to remote work stands out. This study aims to elucidate the benefits and implications of remote work on the performance of administrative employees within Ciudad Juárez's maquiladoras. A correlational, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive research design was employed from August 2021 to May 2022. A non-probabilistic sample of 273 administrative staff members, who had engaged in remote work at least once, was utilized and a questionnaire was administered. The subsequent statistical analysis involved frequency and percentage computations. Further, two distinct groups, each comprising 50 administrative staff members-one working remotely and the other onsite-were established. Cross-tabulation descriptive analysis was performed to discern potential associations. Preliminary results revealed a marked prevalence of remote work (81.3%) over onsite work (18.7%). A significant association (p<0.05) between remote work and job performance was evident in most items, thereby indicating that remote work positively contributes to organizational objectives and enhances employee performance.

“…In an indepth study of working women in different jobs, Arteaga-Aguirre et al (2021) argued that women were affected by the "simultaneous double presence in times of coronavirus, which leads women to intensify simultaneity as a strategy to address the different demands." They mention that female teachers have been particularly affected by this during COVID, given the demands of leading a classroom, attending to students, and working without fixed schedules all while addressing domestic responsibilities (Arteaga-Aguirre et al, 2021). Finally, studies have shown that structural inequalities present across the education system contributed towards mental health declines in Chile.…”

In this chapter, we describe and analyze the available evidence (including our own research) about Chilean education during the COVID-19 pandemic and its efforts to recover once the health crisis was controlled. We show that the implementation of distance education produced markedly unequal experiences between schools and students, which essentially reinforced pre-existing inequalities and created new ones. This crisis was aggravated by the enormous difficulties encountered by the educational system to resume in-person activities, resulting in a massive and prolonged closure of Chilean schools. Additionally, the capacity to go back to school was very unevenly distributed, further harming the most disadvantaged students, both socioeconomically and socio-emotionally, as shown by the extreme difficulties of school reopening, teacher absenteeism and mental health problems, and student irregular attendance, learning losses and behavioral problems. Thus, the pandemic affected the very foundations of the regular operating of the Chilean education system triggering a multifaceted process of deinstitutionalization.

“…In Chile, the possibility of working remotely was more common for highly educated groups, those living in the Metropolitan District, and women [19]. In this regard, both national and international evidence show that the challenge of balancing the demands of the workplace with an increased domestic and caregiving workload was particularly marked for mothers [20,21].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic was a source of significant stress due to health and safety concerns and measures to control the virus’ spread, such as mobility restrictions. This measure was especially demanding for parents with school aged children, who had to find new work–family balance as their children participate in online education while attempting to work remotely. To evaluate parents’ stress trajectories during the pandemic, we conducted Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMAs) during lockdown for 29 days in 68 families in Santiago, Chile. In addition, we evaluated the role of educational level and income, co-parenting, and number of children in parents’ stress trajectories. Our results showed that during the first weeks of lockdown expected protective factors (i.e., income and co-parental support) were not able to influence parents’ daily stress management. Moreover, parents with higher educational levels reported worse stress adaptation than less educated parents. On the other hand, co-parental conflict was significantly associated with parent’s stress. Our study captured an acute response to COVID-19 related challenges. This study contributes to understanding how parents adjust to stress during adverse circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
