She cession The Gendered Impact of COVID 19

The COVID 19 Pandemic has made the world witness a sharp decline in the employment rates, but what is more concerning is that it has caused a "she cession". A she cession is an economic downturn where job and income losses adversely affect women more than men. As per empirical evidence, the she cession isn't just lingering, but is getting worse. So, a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of the she cession and thereby paves the way for a she covery is crucial. Turning the she cession into she covery is even more challenging in developing countries like India, where women face discrimination on a wide range of grounds. Though, it might take a lot of time to achieve gender parity in the workforce, but with the implementation of certain policies and practices, the world will eventually converge towards a she covery situation.
