India imposed one of the strictest lockdowns in the world to contain the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. According to the Stringency Index developed by the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford, by the 25th of March, 2020, India had already reached the highest possible level of stringency (index value = 100). This involved a near-complete shutdown of all economic activity. What were the labour market implications of this shutdown? The first-order effects are evident in the massive increase in total unemployment. However, is the pandemic and its aftermath a great leveller? Are the labour implications of the lockdown gender neutral? How did the lockdown affect domestic time allocation, in particular time spent on domestic work and with friends? Were these changes gender neutral, given that the lockdown was gender blind?
