The impact of CoVID-19 pandemic on gender-related work from home in STEM fields- report of the WiMPBME Task Group
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The CoVID-19 pandemic forced many people, including those in the fields of science and engineering, to work from home. The new working environment caused by the pandemic is assumed to have a different impact on the amount of work that women and men can do from home. Particularly, if the major burden of child and other types of care is still predominantly on the shoulders of women. As such, a survey was conducted to assess the main issues that biomedical engineers, medical physicists (academics and professionals) and other similar professionals have been facing when working from home (WFH) during the pandemic. A survey was created and disseminated worldwide. It originated from a committee of International Union for Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine (IUPESM; Women in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering Task Group) and supported by the Union. The analyses mainly consisted of frequency of the demographic parameters and the cross-tabulation of gender with all relevant variables describing the impact of work at home. A total of 921 responses from biomedical professions in 76 countries were received: 339 males, 573 females, and 9 prefer-not-to-say/other were from all regions in the world. More women were working from home during the pandemic (68%) versus 50% of men. More men had access to an office at home (68%) versus 64% for women. The proportion of men spending more than 3 hours on child care and schooling per day was 12%, while for women it was 22%; for household duties, 8% of men spent more than 3 hours; for women, this was 12.5%. It is interesting to note that 44% of men spent between 1-3 hours per day on household duties, while for women, it was 55%. The high number of survey responses can be considered excellent. It is interesting to note that men participate in childcare and household duties in a relatively high percentage; although this corresponds to less hours daily than for women. It is far more than can be found two and three decades ago.
