Memes and posts have been floating around social media, depicting some of the struggles that many parents face in balancing their ‘new norm’ of remote working and parenting; following the government’s announcement, on March 13, for schools to largely operate in a virtual space until the end of the school term, as one of the measures to curtail the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). But even at the end of the official school term, which ends in a few weeks, children will remain at home during their summer break, with no Summer schools and limited camp or other engagement activities expected, due to the social distancing protocols still in place.

The last few months have seen several changes taking place in the local and global job market, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
