ABSTRACT
Unpaid Work is one of gender equality's problems that inevitably occur in domestic life. Most women experience inequality problems because of pre-existing views of a woman's role. This study aims to determine the circumstances and changes in unpaid Work in Indonesia and Japan during the COVID-19 and before the pandemic. The method used in this research is literature study and interviews. These interviews were conducted with 8 Indonesian families and 8 Japanese families where both partners are working. Based on the data processing result, there is an increase in the time to do unpaid Work for women and men during the COVID-19 pandemic. Other than the time increase, men's role in taking care of the households also increased, but the dominant worker at home is still women. To this study, gender equality of unpaid Work at home is more balanced in Indonesia than in Japan. This statement can be seen because of the role of Indonesian women in society, such as the number of working women, women's role in government, and others. The authors provide ideas for handling unpaid work problems in domestic life with this study. © 2023 Author(s).
ABSTRACT
In recent years, Internet of Things(IoT) has become popular, the requirements for sharing the operation/mechanisms of IoT devices, such as Arduino and M5Stack are increasing. Moreover, owing to the coronavirus pandemic, many educational institutions have adopted online lectures, such as on-demand classes and online classes using video conference systems. For IoT programming education, these methods have challenges, such as a lack of linkage with real-world devices and source codes. In this study, we propose a system called "IoTeach", which supports the learning of IoT programming by attaching a scripting language to sequential contents, such as videos and slides shared on the Web. The IoTeach can link videos and slides with real-world IoT devices and source codes. We describe the concept and implementation of the system in this study. © 2023 Owner/Author.
