The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Women

This infographic illustrates selected examples of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women at both the Canada-wide and global levels. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women is examined in three areas: the increase in unpaid care work, a responsibility that falls disproportionately on women compared to men; the high rate of employment loss, which was felt to a greater extent by women than men; and the increasing rate of burnout among health care workers, the majority of whom are women. Some notable statistics of the pandemic’s impact on women are as follows: in Canada, among parents providing support to their children with schoolwork during the pandemic, 64% were women; globally, employment loss during the pandemic (in 2020, compared to 2019) was 5% for women versus 3.9% for men; and the rate of severe burnout among health care workers in Canada rose from between 30% and 40% in spring 2020 to 60% in spring 2021.
