Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between married working women’s burden of raising children in the COVID-19 situation. Methods: A total of 709 married working women were selected from the 8th Female Family Panel Longitudinal Survey (KLoWF) database. Parenting burden, COVID-19 characteristics, and working environment characteristics were calculated based on responses from KLoWF. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate crude and coordinated associations using PASW 18.0. Results: There was an independently positive association between excessive working hours (b = 0.18, p < 0.001), irregular working hours (b = 0.13, p = 0.022), temporal oppression on workload (b = 0.19, p < 0.001), changes in domestic labor after COVID-19 (b = 0.10, p = 0.022) and association between parenting burden in women workers after the COVID-19 pandemic adjusting for socio-demographics. And negative association between changes in marital relationship after COVID-19 (b = -0.21, p = 0.044) and between parenting burden in women workers after adjusting for socio-demographics. Conclusions: This study suggests that it is an important factor in the parenting burden of married female workers after COVID-19. The findings will help policymakers design measures to reduce the parenting burden of married female workers in the event of an infectious disease.
