Study on U.S. Parents' Divisions of Labor During COVID-19, Wave 1

To help provide estimates that are more representative of U.S. partnered parents, we also constructed weights. Weight variables are included to be representative of U.S. parents who reside with a romantic partner (married or cohabiting) and a child aged 18 or younger based on age, race/ethnicity, and gender. National estimates were obtained using data from the 2020 Current Population Survey (CPS). Weights were calculated using an iterative raking method, such that the full sample in each data file matches the nationally representative CPS data in regard to the gender, age, and racial/ethnic distributions within the data. This variable is labeled CPSweightW1 in the Wave 1 dataset.
