Notes:All regressions are estimated using an ordered probit with robust standard errors and weights applied.All observations are women. The dependent variable in columns 1 and 2 asks individuals about their concern about the impact of COVID-19 on family stress due to con-finement.The dependent variable takes on the values 1 (not at all), 2 (somewhat), 3 (very), and 4 (extremely).The dependent variable in columns 3 and 4 asks individuals about their concern about the impact of COVID-19 on violence in the home.The dependent variable takes on the values 1 (not at all), 2 (somewhat), 3 (very), and 4 (extremely). Columns 1 and 3 append the controls with a categorical variable describing how concerned the respondents are with maintaining social ties after the impacts of COVID-19.The base category is “not at all.” Columns 2 and 4 append the controls with the work from home and the concerned with maintaining social ties variables.
