However, during confinement, the proportion dropped to 12%. Along the same lines, Nature Index (classification focused on research published in a selection of academic natural science journals from the Nature group) tells us that we are in the same storm, but not in the same boat.

And the confinement has had the opposite effect to what would be expected from planned teleworking. The differences in the time dedicated by women and men to care and domestic work have worsened during confinement. A questionnaire carried out by the Women and Science Unit of the Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain to 1,563 researchers on the impact of confinement shows us that almost 50% of women, compared to 20% of men, were responsible for exclusive of home cleaning, while.
Women, compared to of men, mainly took on the tasks of caring for people in their care. A reality that until now had been hidden in our homes.

After launching in June 2020 at the Complutense University of Madrid, it collected almost 1,600 responses, showing very significant preliminary results. Gender roles in academic work were not only confirmed before the pandemic, but were also aggravated during confinement: women said they spent more time preparing classes and caring for students, and men said.
