This newspaper comprehensive foreign media reported the EU Voice website to post on November 26,A study indicates,The new crown pneumonia epidemic has exacerbated the inequality that American women suffer in the field of employment。

Researcher Simeon Djankov, a researcher at the London School of Economics, England, and Eva ZHANG, a researcher at Peterson International Institute of International Economic Research Institute in the United States.。Research results show,From the epidemic to October Bet365 app download 2020,The labor participation rate of American women has decreased by 2 percentage points,highlight the expansion of the gender gap。

Epidemic affairs have a serious impact on positions with more employment in American women than other positions。Women are usually catering、Tourism and office logistics job work,And these positions are affected very seriously。The industry with the largest number of unemployed in the United States in October is an industry that requires interpersonal contact,such as retail industry,And the number of women in these industries accounts for nearly three -quarters of the total number of women employment。

Research on the US labor market before,Professional mothers have assumed most Bet365 app download family labor。But since the epidemic occurred,Professional mothers have to reduce work time or leave the job completely。According to the survey,Men who work at home during the epidemic period increased by 4.7 hours in parenting and family education.,and women increased by 6.1 hours。

other,There are two more problems worthy of long -term attention。The first question is home violence。bet365 Play online games Preliminary evidence indicates,During the epidemic period, domestic violence increased。The second question is that the income is inequality because the woman leaves the labor position,And this inequality implies more social problems。
