Description:
This session tries to better understand the state of the economy and the categories that were impacted by the COVID-19-caused economic recession the most. Gender economic parity comprises an integral part of one of the United Nation’s 17 goals toward attaining sustainable development. All across the world, women have historically been confined to feminine occupations that are traditionally associated with lower pay and lower benefits that negatively impact their economic well-being and overall wealth accumulation. Recent work on labor market impacts of social disadvantage reveals that the role of disadvantage grew stronger during COVID-19 compared with the pre-pandemic period within communities that were already vulnerable pre-COVID-19, while another recent work based on the analysis of the American Community Survey data suggests that within USA, even in 2019, women’s largest share of employment still existed in the sales/office-based occupations, followed by service jobs, and education/legal/community-service/arts/media – accounting toward 65% of all employed women in the US. Further, women majoring with a Bachelor’s degree in the disciplines of Science & Engineering and related disciplines are still at the lowest, which eventually manifest into their alarmingly lower representations in Science & Engineering related occupations that are traditionally associated with higher pay structure. Digging deeper into the complex ways in which race intersects with gender, these gaps get further aggravated across almost all types of economic spaces – employment, industry, income/wealth accumulation, and the like. Other questions addressing the various aspects of the economy and helping understand the state of the economy during COVID-19 including job access for workers with disabilities, income inequality, minimum wage, and international examples of worker experiences, and other are welcome.
