Abstract

Die Corona-Krise hat das soziale und ökonomische Leben in Deutschland innerhalb weniger Tage fast komplett lahm gelegt. Das Schließen vieler Geschäfte und das Herunterfahren der Produktion von Waren, die nicht als systemkritisch eingestuft werden, hat viele Beschäftigte sehr hart getroffen. Hinzu kommt, dass viele Arbeitnehmer*innen aufgrund der Schließung von Kitas und Schulen dazu gezwungen sind, ihre Erwerbstätigkeit zu reduzieren beziehungsweise komplett aufzugeben, um ihre Kinder zu betreuen. Diese Last der verminderten Erwerbstätigkeit einerseits und der vermehrten Kinderbetreuung andererseits trifft Frauen aber noch stärker als Männer, was vorallem auf lange Sicht verheerende Folgen haben kann.
