Abstract: 
The COVID-19 pandemic was a major shock for working parents, who faced sudden disruptions in both their work environment and their children's schooling. We study the effect of remote schooling on parental labor market outcomes in Sweden, a setting characterized by minimal COVID-related containment measures, a robust social safety net and a well-established digital education infrastructure. For parents of teenagers, we find no evidence that remote schooling affected employment status, with some short-lived earnings increases that vary by the age of the child. We find neither systematic maternal- paternal differences nor variation by occupational remote-workability.
