This symposium encompasses a series of studies exploring the intricate dynamics of work and home life, particularly focusing on gender-related aspects and the impact of significant societal changes such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The first presentation utilizes experience sampling methodology to investigate how daily household labor influences the work experiences of mothers and fathers. The second paper emphasizes the need to consider diverse relationship statuses of working parents beyond traditional categories, addressing gender disparities in career outcomes. The third study examines the repercussions of the pandemic on remote work settings, specifically for working parents, uncovering gender and parental status effects on supervisor evaluations. The symposium concludes with a paper exploring the pandemic's influence on nonwork boundary flexibility and its long-term impact on career satisfaction, with a focus on gender differences. Collectively, these presentations contribute valuable insights into the nuanced intersections of gender, family dynamics, and evolving work structures, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities for fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion in the contemporary workplace.
