The Covid-19 pandemic has reshaped our personal relationships in unprecedented ways, forcing us to live closer together with some people and further apart from others. Both in China, which was the first country in the world to go into full lockdown when the virus emerged there, and in Hong Kong - the virus has been brought under control and life has returned to some semblance of normality. But the pandemic has left some cracks in family relationships.
Most notably the high-pressure environment of confinement, combined with the financial stress brought about by a Covid-19 burdened economy, has led to a rise in marital conflict. This is most evident in a spike in divorce rates. In the city of Xi'an in northwest China's Shanxi province, marriage registration offices saw an unprecedented number of divorce requests when they re-opened in March. And it would seem that more extreme cases, these conflicts arising during lockdown have led to a surge in cases of domestic violence. In Hubei province, the heart of the initial outbreak, reported cases of domestic violence increased threefold since the pandemic started.
In Beijing, the women's rights NGO Equality reported a surge in calls to its helpline on issues of domestic violence, after lockdown measures were implemented throughout the country in early February. In Hong Kong, Harmony House, a domestic violence prevention centre and shelter, the number of admissions to the centre rose from 10 in January to 40 in April. Although Hong Kong hasn't gone into full lockdown, pandemic stress, the pressures of working from home, school closures, social isolation have caused a rise in abusive behaviours in families.
Another challenge that families are facing is the increased burden of care as a result of quarantine measures and home-schooling situations. Often, women end up shouldering a greater burden, given typically unequal divisions in household labour, according to Choi. Women spend 2.5 times more time on unpaid care work than men in China, and this will have long-term implications on women's ability to participate in the workforce. "Women workers might be disproportionately affected by Covid-19 related layoffs," said Choi, both because women have to stay at home and take care of their families, but also because both in China and Hong Kong, women are more likely to be employed in the retail sector, including restaurants, hotels and airlines, which have been hit heaviest by the pandemic.
