As men have increased their research while home these past couple months, women have lowered their submissions to academic journals, indicating that women are less able to do their research while in stuck in the house.
that while caring for her home and two young boys, research has to take a back seat. “Research is really important, but it’s not urgent,” she said. “It’s not usually the thing that someone’s breathing down your neck about.” While many people are suffering from a lack of productivity while in lockdown, Jefferson said “women will probably be disadvantaged more strongly.”
“Many female academics will have partners with a more structured job with online meetings that are non-negotiable,” she said. “And it must be even harder for single mothers, because they are doing all this on their own.” To add insult to injury, men don’t seem to grasp just how much their women partners are doing at home. A Mayfound that while women in the U.S. are handling the majority of home-schooling kids, men see the situation differently: Nearly half of men with children under 12 surveyed said they spent more time on teaching kids than their spouse, yet just 3 percent of women said their spouse is doing more. Eighty percent of mothers say they spend more time on home-schooling.
“Being forced to be at home is amplifying the differences we already know exist,” said Barbara Risman, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago who was part of a group of sociologists who analyzed thedata. “What terrifies me for the future is if it will push women out of the labor force in a way that will be very hard to overcome.”
James Wilsdon, director of the Research on Research Institute based at the UK-based Wellcome Trust, agreed, but added a bit of hope: “All the juggling and the hidden labor of domesticity that is part of many academics’ real lives is now being brought into view,” he told. “Maybe when those things are raised in the future, universities will be better at understanding.”
