An Unequal Burden: Women, Work,Care and Covid-19

An Unequal Burden: Women, Work, Care and Covid-19
Covid-19 has dealt a major blow to working women as household work, child care and the care of older adults have disproportionately fallen on them. A recent report found that 1 in 4 women were considering cutting back on their jobs or dropping out of the workforce, citing increased household and child care responsibilities during the pandemic as a main reason. Women of color tend to be most affected since they often shoulder the burden of family caregiving. Although white-collar workers have had the option to work from home or call in sick during the pandemic, those working in service industry jobs without sick leave or paid family and medical leave benefits haven't had the same option.
