@ugolachapelle.bsky.social Does telework-induced activity fragmentation lead to a temporal reorganisation of demand for commercial and public services in Canada? Teleworkers do have specific work schedules, are more fragmented, & engage more frequently in service activities #IATUR2026

📝💡 New research by Prof @manyeekan.bsky.social & Dr @gczching.bsky.social finds that teenage girls spend more time on domestic work than boys - with the largest gender gaps found in Western societies, though still pronounced in East Asia. 🔗 www.sociology.ox.ac.uk/article/stud...

Quote from Dr Grace Change: "Understanding adolescent behaviours enables demographers to identify early life cycle factors contributing to gender inequality, examine their effect on transitions to adulthood, and assess their long-term implications for population change and behaviour."

@manyeekan.bsky.social and I show distinct time use patterns of 10-17 yo in Japan, Korea, UK, and Finland across 3 decades. Persistent 🚺🚹 gaps in East Asia reflect adult gender inequality, but gender gaps in domestic work are not nec smaller in more gender equal ctrys @sociologyoxford.bsky.social
