The coronavirus crisis is harder on women: 29% work in sectors that shut down during lockdown

The coronavirus crisis will cause a sharp decline in household incomes as a result of the number of hours that will be lost these months. Dismissals, temporary labour force adjustment plans, and reductions in working hours to take care of relatives will lead to a drop in employment never seen before in Spain.

This crisis will be harder on female workers. Women are more at risk of losing their jobs during Covid-19, according to a study by EsadeEcPol.
