We were all in the same storm, but not the same boat

Venue

Violet Laidlaw Room (Chrystal Macmillan Building) and Online

Description

All working parents were impacted by social restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the flexibility of employers, their socioeconomic situation and the amount of space in their home environment being particularly influential. However, the impact of social restrictions was greater for lone parents due to the inability to share childcare with another adult in the home and for parents in low-income households who were impacted in different ways due to pre-existing inequalities of resources.
