Recorded: Effects of COVID-19 on Girls' Education in the Global South | Women’s Empowerment in Development (WED) LAB |
As with other pandemics in recent history, women are particularly vulnerable. COVID-19 has further aggravated structural inequalities that systematically disadvantage women.

Recorded: Gender Matters: COVID-19 and the labour market in the Global South | Women’s Empowerment in Development (WED) LAB |
As with other pandemics in recent history, women are particularly vulnerable. COVID-19 has further aggravated structural inequalities that systematically disadvantage women, specifically in the economic system.

Around the globe, 740 million women work in the informal sector, which has been worst hit by the economic fall out of the coronavirus.
Given the current challenges, it is important to focus attention on the gender dimensions of COVID-19 on the labour market in the Global South. Nov 17th, 2020 Manage |
