The Socioeconomic Impact of COVID-19 On Women

Piper Hatlestad

Abstract

The differentiated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has shown a disproportionate amount of socioeconomic disadvantages faced by women. These effects are exacerbated by various intersectional identities such as race, disability, ethnicity, socioeconomic class, and age. This study will examine the socioeconomic influence of gender inequality during the pandemic and will discuss the subsequent effects of these disparities for decades to come. The data collected analyzes the effects based on a survey conducted that addresses employment history, income level, current and expected future financial security, as well as socioeconomic status throughout the pandemic timeline.
