Abstract

This study investigates how the view about women's active work changed after the outbreak of the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) disease. We use individual-level panel data from 2016 to 2024 that cover the period before and after the pandemic. The major findings are as follows: (1) men were more likely to have a positive view than women before COVID-19, whereas women became more likely to have a positive view compared to men after COVID-19; (2) both of men and women were more likely to have a positive view after COVID-19; (3) regardless of the respondents' genders, before COVID-19, older people were less likely to have a positive view; after the COVID-19 outbreak, they became more likely to have a positive view; and (4) married men became more likely to have positive view after COVID-19.
