Today on #ThisMatters, I spoke with @sabaeitizaz about what some people are calling the “She-Cession”: the fact that women, especially women of colour, have felt a greater economic impact due to COVID-19 than men have. thestar.com/podcasts/thism…
When the pandemic began, data shows women lost almost twice as many jobs or hours as men. As the economy began to pick back up, men recovered those jobs at a higher rate than women. The disparity is even higher for marginalized women, such as racialized women or women of colour.
