Average agreement with statements on WFH from couple households with children.
Reading example: This radar chart displays the average agreement with different statements on WFH. The smaller the distance on the axis to the centre, the more the respondents disagree with the statement. Blue triangles represent answers from women, pink circles represent men’s responses. On average, men (pink area) found ‘compatibility of free time and career’ to be more true than women (blue area), for example.

Main childcare arrangement during working hours.
Reading example: The first green area indicates the share of respondents who stated that the mother supervises the children in the same room while WFH (40.1%). In contrast, only 24.8% of all respondents report that the father looks after the children and works simultaneously, while 29.9% of the children occupy themselves.

Division of housework (A) and childcare (B) before COVID-19 and subsequent changes during lockdown.
Reading example: The histogram indicates the division of unpaid work before and according changes during the lockdown. The height of the bars state the number of couples divided into three coloured categories. Regarding housework (A): before the pandemic 152 couples shared housework equally (scale no. 5). For 92 of those couples nothing changed during the lockdown (blue bar). In 38 couples the female partner took on a larger share during the lockdown compared to before (green bar), whereas the opposite (male partner took on a larger share) holds true for the remaining 24 couples (grey-purple bar).
