... With regard to education specifically, a heavy chore load reduces the amount of time girls have to spend on their own education and leisure activities (De Paz Nieves et al., 2021;Hasan et al., 2021). Given our finding that daughters were more responsible for sibling care (especially later in the pandemic) and daughters received less educational support from parents (at least early in the pandemic), girls may have suffered a greater educational loss during the pandemic than did boys, and gaps in girls' education may persist over the course of their educational careers relative to boys. ...

... Pakistan's relatively low human development index (HDI) ranking of 0.544 indicates that the country is struggling in the health and education sectors and is hindered by low per capita income (UNDP, 2022). It is estimated that 3.5 million children dropped out of school after the 2022 floods (Ersado et al., 2023). A low level of human development implies that a large part of the population of Pakistan is disadvantaged in terms of economic diversification and skill-based income generation, largely stemming from the country's systemic social sector issues regarding quality healthcare and education. ...

... However, concerns were raised about the digital readiness of the educational community, in terms of both learning and teaching, as well as access by learners. Although regarded as a necessary first response to the fast-spreading virus, continued school closures led to concerns about potential learning losses and how these may exacerbate existing educational inequalities (Armitage & Nellums, 2020;Azevedo et al., 2020;Engzell et al., 2021;Maldonado & De Witte, 2021). As a result, the challenges and ramifications of this digital transition in education have been questioned in terms of a 'digital divide' that could lead to educational inequalities by socioeconomic status (SES), ethnicity, special educational needs (SEN), disability and geography (Coleman, 2021;Cullinane & Montacute, 2020;van de Werfhorst et al., 2020;Van Lancker & Parolin, 2020;Ziauddeen et al., 2020). ...
