¿La revolución estancada en el siglo de las mujeres? El confinamiento como laboratorio

The pandemic situation experienced worldwide prompted the approval of measures by different countries in order to face the fight against COVID-19. The Spanish State was one of the states that suffered the most from this impact and that led to the decree of the state of confinement of citizens through the approval of Royal Decree Law 8/2020. The old problem of reconciling work and family life (Torns, 2005) became an urgent need as the health crisis became outright and the educational centers were closed. The passage of weeks without the possibility of providing resources that usually assist families, as a result of the measures imposed by COVID-19, led to the worsening of the care crisis experienced by our society. This scenario encouraged us to initiate an investigation whose samples would be taken during the confinement period and whose objective would be to observe the impact and difficulties faced by women with family responsibilities who experienced this stage, having to reconcile said care provision needs with your workday. Evidence shows how the sexual division of labor in the private domestic sphere and a differential use of gendered time is still very present in the daily practices of young couples, even in those who recognize themselves as egalitarian.
