Summary: This article introduces the ATUS-X diary visualization tool, which aims to address the accessibility issue of time-use data and expand the user base by providing users with the opportunity to visualize their own subsamples of the American Time Use Survey Data Extractor (ATUS-X). The online tool provides an easy point-and-click interface for data exploration in a visual form, benefiting a wider audience of academics, policymakers, non-academic researchers, and journalists by removing accessibility barriers to time-use diaries.

Summary: Research shows that during the COVID-19 pandemic, women, especially mothers, spent more time on childcare and household chores, leading to lower reported levels of happiness. Policies should take into account individual gender differences in time use, both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between paternal depression, parenting behavior, and child developmental outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings suggest that fathers who were more severely impacted by the pandemic reported higher levels of depressive symptoms. The impact of COVID-19 was associated with fewer authoritative parenting behaviors, and both paternal pandemic impact and depression symptoms were predictive of child cognitive scores and emotional and behavioral outcomes. The study also found that fathers expressed concerns about their children, work, and mental health during the pandemic, but some also reported positive aspects of lockdown measures.

Summary: Despite significant advances in medicine and child healthcare globally, under-five mortality remains high in countries like Ghana in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study analyzed data from Ghana in 2017 and found disparities in under-five mortality time across different geographic regions, with various factors significantly associated with the timing of child mortality. Therefore, policy interventions should prioritize healthcare services in rural areas and improvements in urban areas to reduce child mortality risk.

Summary: This study examines the impact of a prosocial video game called 'Peace' on attitudes and beliefs related to child marriage in Ugandan youth. The results indicate that the game has the potential to prevent support for child marriage and could be used as an intervention for educating young people on gender-based violence issues. However, additional curricular activities are needed to facilitate deeper and sustained learning from the game.

Summary: This study finds that Chinese CEOs who experienced greater gender inequality during the one-child policy period tend to increase investment and invest more than their peers. Women CEOs in this group are more conservative and risk-averse in investment, while men CEOs are overconfident and risk-taking. These results are robust across several tests.

Summary: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this study examined the relationship between caregivers' psychological well-being, digital media use, and parenting practices. The findings showed that caregivers' media use and psychological distress had nuanced associations with parenting practices. Media use for relaxation and intrusions of media in family interactions were related to lower-quality parenting, while media use for maintaining social connections was associated with more positive and less negative parenting practices.

Summary: Parental stress, parenting competence, and parents' concerns about their child's weight are important predictors of feeding practices. Only child status and parents' family roles also play a role in shaping these practices.

Summary: The study finds that the high labour market costs of having children for women may have some biological components, but the burden is greater on women regardless of whether they carry the biological costs related to pregnancy. Adopting mothers experience slightly smaller child penalties compared to biological mothers, while neither adopting nor biological fathers experience any child penalties.

Summary: This study examines the association between parents' socioeconomic status and subjective social status and their endorsement of authoritarian parenting. The findings show that both socioeconomic status and subjective social status are associated with increased odds of endorsing authoritarian parenting, and that disparities based on subjective social status exist independently of socioeconomic status. The study also finds that the associations vary by race.

Summary: The empirical investigation on fourteen countries from the European Union reveals that gender pay gap and energy consumption contribute to CO2 emissions, while economic growth, globalization, and urbanization do not exacerbate environmental issues. This research will provide insights for policymakers and governments to address gender inequality and mitigate environmental degradation simultaneously, sparking new discussions in the literature.

Summary: This study found that spending no more than 2 hours on screen time had minimal negative effects on the development of young children, while exceeding 2 hours was associated with poorer language development among 2 year olds. There was less excessive screen media use when a child co-views with an adult, sibling, or other child, and when parents likewise have less screen time themselves.

Summary: This study found that upper-class parents significantly differ from lower-class parents in two dimensions of parenting, namely inductive reasoning and parenting consistency, while no relevant class differences were found in the dimensions of warmth and anger. Additionally, all four parenting dimensions were found to have a strong impact on children's behavioral problems, but not on cognitive outcomes. Consistency was the only dimension that affected both types of child outcomes. The study highlights the importance of analyzing parenting and child development from a multidimensional perspective.

Summary: This study provides the first systematic longitudinal analysis of the influence of paternal involvement in family life on the gender-role attitudes of children by the age of 14 or 15. The results show that fathers' time spent on childcare during childhood is associated with gender-egalitarian attitudes in children, and the most powerful predictor of children's gender-role attitudes is the amount of time fathers spent on housework during children's adolescence. These findings emphasize the importance of father involvement in shaping children's gender-egalitarian attitudes.

Summary: During the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, social life primarily took place within households due to social restrictions and distancing policies. Single parents, especially single mothers, were found to be at a higher risk of experiencing care-related worries, particularly regarding their financial situation. Individuals living alone were most likely to report feelings of loneliness, while those living in shared houses, with or without children, had the lowest risk of experiencing both loneliness and care-related worries.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on gender relations, especially in the increased care needs. Survey results show that women are more worried about childcare work, while men are more concerned about paid work and the economy. This may lead to a widening gender wage gap in the future.
