The study explores the effect of COVID-19 on labour market outcomes for women in the major urban areas in Canada. Using data from the Labour Force Statistics, we find the pandemic has had a disproportionately negative impact on the employment and income of women, worsening gender inequalities. Sectors more likely to employ women faced immense negative pressures, leading to dismal employment numbers. The effects of continued lockdowns and future potential inflation suggest that gender wage disparity continues to increase, worsening the economic health of women and making them even more vulnerable to future event risks.
该研究探讨了新冠疫情对加拿大主要城市地区女性劳动力市场结果的影响。利用劳动力统计数据，我们发现疫情对女性的就业和收入产生了不成比例的负面影响，加剧了性别不平等。更有可能雇佣女性的行业面临着巨大的负面压力，导致就业人数惨淡。持续封锁和未来潜在通胀的影响表明，性别工资差距继续扩大，恶化了女性的经济健康状况，使她们更容易受到未来事件风险的影响。
