Beyond Recovery
Toward a gender-just recovery
Beyond Recovery is working to support and advance a gender-just recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The project’s goals are to document and analyze women’s experiences, with a particular focus on marginalized women in hard-hit sectors, and to provide evidence-based policy solutions. This project has been funded in part by Women and Gender Equality Canada.
Key Highlights:
- If we’re going to close the gap, we need government action.
- Low pay driving career changes among women workers.
- The crisis in the care economy shows no signs of letting up.
- Women’s earnings lag behind high inflation.
- The pandemic has accelerated the exit of older women workers.
- The racialized employment gap is narrowing but barriers persist.
