This article provides a contextual framework for understanding the gendered dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic and its health, social, and economic outcomes. The pandemic has generated massive losses in lives, impacted people’s health, disrupted markets and livelihoods, and created profound reverberations in the home. In 112 countries that reported sex-disaggregated data on COVID-19 cases, men showed an overall higher infection rate than women, and an even higher mortality rate. However, women’s relatively high representation in sectors hardest hit by lockdown orders has translated into larger declines in employment for women than men in numerous countries. Evidence also indicates that stay-at-home orders have increased unpaid care workloads, which have fallen disproportionately to women. Further, domestic violence has increased in frequency and severity across countries. The article concludes that policy response strategies to the crisis by women leaders have contributed to more favorable outcomes compared to outcomes in countries led by men.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Women from lowest-income households and marginalized groups bore the brunt of the COVID-19 crisis.

  • Globally, more women than men are employed in sectors hardest hit by the pandemic.

  • Essential and frontline workers at higher risk of exposure are predominantly women.

  • Migrant workers are especially vulnerable to job loss, benefit exclusions, and travel bans.

  • Countries with women leaders had more favorable outcomes during the pandemic.

女权主义对COVID-19大流行的经济学观点

本文提供了一个上下文框架,用于了解COVID-19大流行的性别因素及其健康,社会和经济成果。该流行病造成了巨大的生命损失,影响了人们的健康,扰乱了市场和生计,并在家庭中造成了深远的影响。在112个报告了按性别分类的COVID-19病例数据的国家中,男性的总体感染率高于女性,甚至死亡率更高。但是,在受封锁令打击最严重的部门中,妇女的相对较高的代表性已导致许多国家妇女的就业率下降幅度大于男子。证据还表明,留在家里的订单增加了无偿护理工作量,而这种情况在妇女中所占比例不成比例。进一步,各个国家家庭暴力的频率和严重性都有所增加。文章得出的结论是,与男性领导的国家相比,女性领导人对危机的政策应对策略有助于取得更有利的结果。

强调

  • 来自最低收入家庭和边缘群体的妇女在COVID-19危机中首当其冲。

  • 在全球范围内,受大流行影响最严重的部门的妇女人数多于男子。

  • 具有较高暴露风险的基本和前线工人主要是女性。

  • 农民工特别容易遭受失业,福利被排斥和旅行禁令的侵害。

  • 在大流行期间,有女性领导人的国家取得了更有利的结果。
