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.
