Women, Work, and COVID: Ending the "Shecession"

October 19 at 2:00 pm PDT / 5:00 pm EDT

Women lost their jobs or left the workforce at significantly higher rates than men during the pandemic and have encountered more long-term barriers to reentry. As a result, this economic era has earned the nickname the "shecession." We will outline the social issues the pandemic has exposed and explore ways in which employers can provide equitable skilling and meaningful employment to help women return to work.
