‘Shecession’, the Covid 19 Impact On Women and Jobs

The COVID-19 pandemic has reversed many of women’s workplace gains, causing a ‘shecession’, according to a new report.
In 17 of the 24 rich countries where unemployment rose last year, women were more likely than men to lose their jobs.
On average, women spent 7.7 more hours a week than men on unpaid childcare last year, forcing some women to quit their jobs altogether.
The report concluded that progress towards gender equality at work would not begin to recover until 2022.
