The far-reaching, negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted healthcare, economic, public safety, and social systems globally. The public safety measures put in place in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic, including sheltering in places orders and shutdowns of schools and places of work, negatively impacted the employment status and increased time spent in domestic work and childcare for women. In this paper, we review and analyze the impacts, both direct and indirect, of COVID-related policies on the lives of women. Specifically, we outline how the progression of policies aimed at addressing both public safety and economic recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic affected women's health, paid and unpaid work, and wellbeing. We will focus on the impacts of policies implemented in the United States in comparison to policies that were implemented globally to address similar issues during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, we conclude with recommendations for policies that could prevent similar disparate impacts on women in future crises.

COVID-19 大流行期间的妇女、工作和家庭：审视 COVID 政策的影响并展望未来


COVID-19 大流行的深远负面影响影响了全球的医疗保健、经济、公共安全和社会系统。美国在 COVID-19 大流行期间采取的公共安全措施，包括就地避难令以及关闭学校和工作场所，对就业状况产生了负面影响，并增加了妇女在家务劳动和儿童保育上花费的时间。在本文中，我们回顾并分析了新冠病毒相关政策对妇女生活的直接和间接影响。具体而言，我们概述了在 COVID-19 大流行期间旨在解决公共安全和经济复苏问题的政策进展如何影响妇女的健康、有偿和无偿工作以及福祉。我们将重点关注美国实施的政策与在 COVID-19 大流行的头两年期间全球为解决类似问题而实施的政策的影响。最后，我们提出了可以防止未来危机中对妇女产生类似不同影响的政策建议。
