Resumen

Historically, societies present a sexual division of labor wherein women are responsible for domestic and care work. Adding to this, the Covid-19 pandemic has increased the time spent on these activities, as social distancing imposes the closure of workplaces, schools, restaurants and governmental services. This paper investigates if the extra amount of domestic and care work added to women’s burden or if this was an opportunity for men to take more responsibility. The analysis of 455 questionnaires answered during social distancing in Brazil shows that the domestic and care work increase was not evenly distributed in gender and race terms.
