在这个数据可视化中，作者研究了美国2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）危机如何影响性别和父母身份的劳动力参与率、失业率和工作时间。作者利用当前人口调查（Current Population Survey）的数据，比较了2020年2月至4月的估计数，以研究美国COVID-19爆发前到第一波疫情高峰期的一段时间，当时全国各地都发布了居家令。调查结果表明，妇女，特别是母亲，就业受到COVID-19的不成比例的影响。母亲比父亲更有可能退出劳动力市场并失业。在双方都从事远程办公的异性恋已婚夫妇中，母亲减少工作时间的幅度远远大于父亲。这些模式表明，2019冠状病毒病危机已经加剧了现有的性别不平等，对妇女就业产生了长期影响。
In this data visualization, the authors examine how the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis in the United States has affected labor force participation, unemployment, and work hours across gender and parental status. Using data from the Current Population Survey, the authors compare estimates between February and April 2020 to examine the period of time before the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States to the height of the first wave, when stay-at-home orders were issued across the country. The findings illustrate that women, particularly mothers, have employment disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Mothers are more likely than fathers to exit the labor force and become unemployed. Among heterosexual married couples of which both partners work in telecommuting-capable occupations, mothers have scaled back their work hours to a far greater extent than fathers. These patterns suggest that the COVID-19 crisis is already worsening existing gender inequality, with long-term implications for women’s employment.
