The COVID-19 gender gap: Why women are leaving their jobs and how to get them back to work (free PDF)

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the world, radically shifting the way we work, causing massive unemployment, and creating anxiety for both employers and workers. And when a crisis hits, it tends to expose and exacerbate areas of existing inequality. In this case, it has become clear that women—and to a greater extent, minority women and mothers—have been hit hardest: Nearly 2.5 million women have been forced out of their jobs since March 2020, compared to 1.8 million men, according to data from the U.S. Department of Labor. And in industries where gender disparities already exist—such as in the tech world—the pandemic exposes and exacerbates already existing inequalities.

Why has the pandemic impacted workers differently? What are the long-term consequences of these gender disparities? And how can employers retain female employees or bring them back if they dropped out? Find out the answers to these questions and more in this free PDF ebook from TechRepublic.
