Using data from the American Time Use Survey, we find that working from home became more prevalent among women than men, thus widening the gender gap. Job characteristics played a crucial role in this trend, particularly among private sector workers. The gender gap widened most significantly among young, highly educated individuals and those living with dependents. Moreover, our results suggest that social distancing measures increased working from home time for men but did not have the same effect on women. We also extend our analysis to other work-related outcomes, finding that women experienced less favorable outcomes, particularly an increase in unpredictable or non-standard schedules. Overall, this shift in the gender gap is statistically significant over time and remains robust. 000163710 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S32-23R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-114354RA-I00$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2023-147822NB-I00 000163710 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 000163710 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000163710 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-9957-6613$$aMorales, Marina$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000163710 7102_ $$14000$$2415$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
