[2L03] Gender dimensions of the world of work under crises: Trends and challenges
キーワード：gender, employment, crisis, poverty, COVID-19
Across the world, gender gaps in the world of work persist with varying degrees. Women are found in the bottom rungs of the world of work in all regions – often affected by higher working poverty and informality than men. This is due to gender-based discrimination perpetuated by persistent conservative social values which ascribe such gender roles as: “men are bread-winners” and “women are home-makers” in all societies. While women’s labour force participation rate is lower than men’s in paid work, women undertake more of unpaid work than men.
The world faces multiple crises. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused economic slowdown in all regions, increasing natural disasters caused by climate change have destroyed people’s livelihoods, and Russian invasion in Ukraine has hiked both energy and food prices. In the context of these multiple crises, the poor have taken a bigger blunt of negative socioeconomic impacts, particularly women and girls in poorer developing countries. The crises have negatively impacted the world of work. Those who were already socioeconomically vulnerable before the recent crises, particularly, women and girls are taking a bigger blunt of the impacts. How have these multiple crises impacted women and men differently in the world of work? The paper aims to analyse employment trends and identify key challenges in the world of work under multiple crises with a gender perspective. In particular, the paper focuses on quality of work – unemployment, informality and working poverty. The paper presents panel data analyses of the world of work, utilizing publicly available data sources (particularly of the International Labour Organization) and reviews literature.
