This sounded hopeful because women&rsquo;s (in)ability to work outside the home is critically intertwined with their predominant responsibility for domestic chores and unpaid care work. Historically, women&rsquo;s LFP has increased when the time cost of domestic/unpaid care work is reduced, or is shared more equally with men, or made more compatible with market work.</p> <p style="text-align:justify">History tells us that calamitous events like wars and pandemics have the potential to shift pre-established labour market patterns and norms. The first month of the strict lockdown showed an increase in time spent on domestic work by men. The subsequent unlocking has seen a steady increase in employment.

A normalisation of WFH is unlikely to raise women’s participation in the labour force -Ashwini Deshpande |
-The Indian Express Work from home, without lessening domestic burden and an increase in paid work, is unlikely to draw more women into the labour force. Is the COVID-19 pandemic unwittingly turning the tide on the sticky issue of the low labour force participation (LFP) of Indian women that decades of policy and research efforts have been trying to achieve without success? A recent report from LinkedIn suggested that Indian women increased their participation in paid work between April and July because the new normal of “work from home” (WFH) allowed them to combine their domestic and employment responsibilities. This sounded hopeful because women’s (in)ability to work outside the home is critically intertwined with their predominant responsibility for domestic chores and unpaid care work. Historically, women’s LFP has increased when the time cost of domestic/unpaid care work is reduced, or is shared more equally with men, or made more compatible with market work. History tells us that calamitous events like wars and pandemics have the potential to shift pre-established labour market patterns and norms. The first month of the strict lockdown showed an increase in time spent on domestic work by men. The subsequent unlocking has seen a steady increase in employment. If the COVID-19 pandemic did, in fact, manage to shift the needle on sticky gender norms in paid and unpaid work in India, it would be a massive silver lining to the dark clouds of the pandemic and economic recession.
