.A Comparative Study of the Pressure of Multiple Roles on Women in the Family during the Covid-19

With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the economic and social changes in societies has affected the private sector dramatically. The economic pressures of unemployment for either men or women, increasing the caregiving roles, and the burden of children's online education have resulted in changes in the family function, especially in the gender roles of women. The present study by employing a comparative approach aimed to study the experiences of multiple roles caused by Covid-19 disease based on the theory of care ethics in developed and developing countries with a qualitative research method. Findings from different countries revealed that women are more likely to lose their jobs and carry more parenting roles due to their caring ethics. Thus, there is a large gender gap between men and women and there is no difference between developed and developing countries.
