She-cession: unveiling the pandemic's impact on women in the workforce
Update: 2023-11-24
Description
Historically, most recessions have been described as being "he-cessions"; most jobs lost were male dominated industries, and the women led sectors shortly followed.
When the Covid-19 pandemic started, women's employment was hit especially hard by the economic slow down that followed, causing some to call it a "she-cession." But what exactly does the term mean, why did it happen, and what does it tell us about the future of our economy?
For this Big Thinking Podcast episode, our host Gabriel Miller is joined by Armine Yalnizyan, the Canadian economist and writer who helped coin the term to discuss the she-cession and the broader impacts of economics crises on women.
