“Housework” is the within-couple gender gap change in hours allocated to housework; “Childcare” is the within-couple gender gap change in hours allocated to childcare; “Educational Childcare” is the within-couple gender gap change in hours allocated to educational support. All changes compare the within-couple gender gaps before and during lockdown. Within-couple gender gaps are defined as hours allocated to the activity by the woman minus hours allocated to the same activity by the man. For “Housework” all couples are included, for “Childcare” and “Educational Childcare” only couples with children are included. Standard errors in parenthesis.
