* COVID19 Y MUJERES

Cleaning the house and taking care of children has real economic value, and women have been doing it for free for too long.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/26/opinion/sunday/inequality-gender-women-unpaid-work.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage But while the growth in consumer spending thanks to working women is well documented, there is another part of this story that has been largely ignored by economists: the persistence of unpaid work done by women. Even as more women have gone out to work over time, they have continued to do the “second shift.” Women take on more of the domestic labor and volunteering in the community than men, and they have less leisure time. In fact, women who work in paid jobs outside the home spend more time each week on chores at home than do men who do not go out to work.Women have been the main providers of child care while schools have been closed, and mothers working from home are almost twice as likely as men to have reduced their working hours, with the biggest decline in hours found among college-educated women.

En América Latina más de uno de cada cuatro hogares está a cargo de mujeres. Es la tasa más alta del mundo. Todo lo que eso implicaba se agudizó con la pandemia.
