This approach seeks opportunities for de-individualization and de-gendering, thereby foregrounding intertwined societal and collective responsibility rather than individual burden.

Peukert argues that an urban theory systematically focused on the care-housing nexus can enable scholars to comprehend the interrelated nature of these crises and contribute to their partial mitigation.

This paper develops a theoretical framework for analyzing the care-housing nexus across five core dimensions: availability, affordability, compatibility, quality, and social mixing. Each dimension illuminates critical issues in both domains.

Care and housing are fundamentally interrelated in daily practice, yet both domains face profound crises. While the housing crisis receives substantial policy attention as a collective societal problem, the care crisis remains largely privatized within households, families, and institutions.

The study compares parental leave penalties with those associated with unemployment to identify underlying mechanisms. Results indicate employer perceptions of availability, competence, and motivation mediate discriminatory outcomes.

Both parents face disadvantages when taking longer parental leaves. However, a notable asymmetry exists: fathers are penalized for any leave-taking, while mothers are rewarded for moderate leave that aligns with prevailing norms.

Mothers taking shorter parental leaves receive hiring and pay bonuses compared to those taking longer leaves. Employers attribute higher availability, competence, and motivation to mothers with shorter leave periods.

Fathers face penalties for taking any parental leave, with more severe consequences for longer leaves. Managers also perceive fathers taking leave as less available for work.

This discrete choice experiment with 997 managers provides causal evidence on hiring and pay penalties associated with parental leave. Managers evaluated hypothetical job candidates with different leave-taking patterns, revealing interesting findings.

This research offers important evidence on the conditions under which crisis-driven disruptions result in sustained changes in domestic labour arrangements. Structural continuity, rather than temporary crisis conditions, is essential for lasting transformation.

The findings emphasize the necessity of extended temporal analysis and couple-level employment data when assessing pandemic impacts on gendered divisions of household labour. Single time-point assessments prove insufficient for capturing meaningful change.

Persistent increases in paternal domestic labour occurred only when specific employment arrangements continued through later pandemic stages, specifically when fathers maintained remote work while mothers returned to workplace-based employment.

However, first-wave household employment arrangements that initially boosted father involvement were not associated with sustained increases in later pandemic phases—early disruptions alone did not predict lasting change.

Using survey data from August/September 2021, the authors find dual-earner parents of young children continued to report modest increases in father involvement in housework and childcare approximately 18 months into the pandemic.

Early pandemic disruptions to employment, schooling, and childcare led to increased paternal participation in housework and childcare. This study investigates whether these changes represented lasting shifts in gender divisions of domestic labour.

The authors pose a key question to planners and policymakers: What would transport systems look like if designed not for a generic user, but for young carers? This reframing could transform approaches to diversity and exclusion in mobility planning.
