The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic upended work, family, and social life. These massive changes may have created
shifts in exposure to work-life conflict. Using a national survey that followed Canadian workers from September 2019
into April and June 2020, the authors find that work-life conflict decreased among those with no children at home. In
contrast, for those with children at home, the patterns depended on age of youngest child. Among individuals with
children younger than 6 or between 6 and 12, no decreases in work-life conflict were observed. In contrast, those with
teenagers did not differ from the child-free.
