during the covid - 19 pandemic, couples who were able to work from home
discovered that they were able to easily manage young children who were previously in day care because they could now share childcare responsibilities.
found that both full - time - employed parents were sharing the demands of childcare equally.
found that they could now practice a shared division of labor.
saw many mothers forced out of the workplace entirely because of childcare demands

Explanation:

• For the first question:
• The breadwinner/homemaker marriage model is characterized by one spouse (usually the husband historically) being the primary income - earner (breadwinner) and the other (usually the wife) being responsible for domestic duties (homemaker). In the case of Don and Betty, Don is the breadwinner (has a well - paying job) and Betty is the homemaker (stay - at - home wife and mother).
• The ideology of intensive motherhood focuses more on the high - effort, high - investment nature of mothering rather than the overall marriage model.
• The patriarch/property marriage is an older, more archaic model related to male dominance and property transfer in marriage, which is not indicated here.
• Job segregation is about the separation of jobs by gender in the labor market, not a marriage model.
• For the second question:
• During the COVID - 19 pandemic, many mothers were forced out of the workplace entirely because of childcare demands. This was due to the lack of available daycare, schools being closed, and the unequal distribution of domestic and childcare work within households (where women still often took on a disproportionate share).
• It was not the case that couples easily managed young children (as childcare is a demanding task), nor that full - time - employed parents were sharing childcare equally (gender inequalities in domestic work persisted), and while some may have practiced a shared division of labor, the more prominent and well - documented trend was mothers leaving the workforce.

Answer:

• First question: breadwinner/homemaker marriage
• Second question: saw many mothers forced out of the workplace entirely because of childcare demands
