To the issue of increasing gender inequality in the socio-economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively affected the economic downturn in many countries, exposing the socio-economic vulnerability of women and the relevance of gender disparity issues. This is expressed in the pay gap, equal access to finance, full employment opportunities and access to digital opportunities. This study of the impact of the pandemic on gender equality focuses on statistics relating to the problems of women's informal employment, the high volume of unpaid work performed, employment in less paid sectors more affected by quarantine measures.
