The outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causing millions of people to be infected has posed

major public health and governance challenges. This study evaluates the extent to which the unavailability of

computer for children to learn online during the pandemic affects parental psychological wellbeing. We find that

parents having no computer for their children to learn online during to the pandemic are 36.95, 42.85, 38.94, and

40.65 percentage points more likely to feel anxious, worried, displeased, and depressed every day. The study

calls for the expansion of supports for children and families during the pandemic, especially for disproportionately

affected communities.
