COVID-19 and Korea's Childcare Survey

Reports

COVID-19 and Korea's Childcare Survey

Due to social distancing to prevent the spreading of COVID-19, households have gone through an increased burden of care work. This spring, kindergartens and schools have closed down which elevated the burden for parents with young children. 

In 2020, the Center for Transnational Migration and Social Inclusion and Gallup Korea surveyed 1200 married men and women with children ages 0-12 years old to identify issues related to telecommuting and childcare. The next year (2021), this survey has once again conducted in Korea but with a larger sample of 2016 married men and women with children ages 0-12 years old.

Based on the analyses of these surveys, we are currently evaluating how emergency situations such as COVID-19 affected gender inequality in childcare and division of paid and unpaid labor.

The Center for Transnational Migration and Social Inclusion plans to provide practical solutions based on such empirical data.
