COVID-19和相关的封锁意味着许多工作的父母同时面临着在家里做有偿工作和家庭护理。为了调查他们是如何管理的，本文从2020年5月封锁期间对2722名澳大利亚男性和女性进行的全国调查中抽取了双职工夫妇的父母（n= 1536）。它询问答卷人花多少时间从事有酬和无酬劳动，包括积极和监督性护理，以及他们对工作与家庭平衡的满意程度，以及他们的伴侣如何分担负担。总体而言，封锁期间的有酬工作时间略短，无酬工作时间大大增加。这些时间变化主要针对母亲，但性别差距有所缩小，因为父亲的育儿时间相对增加较多。在COVID-19之前，更多的母亲比父亲对他们的工作与家庭平衡和伴侣的份额感到不满。对一些人来说，疫情提高了满意度，但对大多数人来说，满意度变得更糟。同样，一些性别差异缩小了，主要是因为更多的父亲在封锁期间也比以前感到消极。
COVID-19 and the associated lockdowns meant many working parents were faced with doing paid work and family care at home simultaneously. To investigate how they managed, this article draws a subsample of parents in dual-earner couples (n= 1536) from a national survey of 2722 Australian men and women conducted during lockdown in May 2020. It asked how much time respondents spent in paid and unpaid labour, including both active and supervisory care, and about their satisfaction with work-family balance and how their partner shared the load. Overall, paid work time was slightly lower and unpaid work time was very much higher during lockdown than before it. These time changes were most for mothers, but gender gaps somewhat narrowed because the relative increase in childcare was higher for fathers. More mothers than fathers were dissatisfied with their work-family balance and partner's share before COVID-19. For some the pandemic improved satisfaction levels, but for most they became worse. Again, some gender differences narrowed, mainly because more fathers also felt negatively during lockdown than they had before.
