The aim of this article is to contribute to the debate on the gender impact of telework, using the home lockdown of the Catalonian population during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study. Specifically, men’s and women’s experiences and evaluations of remote work are analysed based on a survey on time-use during the lockdown conducted by the Centre Estudis Opinió. The results indicate that the experience of remote work, far from fostering co-responsibility in domestic and care work, further reinforced the gender gap in reproductive labour.
