  1. Estimates from regression (2) of labor market status and no job search for family reasons on a constant, female dummy (1 for women and 0 otherwise), COVID-19 stringency index, child dummies [child0-6 for having child(ren) under 7 years old, child7–14 for having school age child(ren)], and their interactions. Sample includes respondents aged 15 to 64. Regressions estimated with linear probability model, including random effects. Robust standard errors in parentheses. The sample is restricted to respondents who share complete information on family structure
