Role Purposes
The COVID-19 Pandemic has deepened gender inequality with differentiated impacts on men and women. Social distancing measures have worsened women’s situations with increased intensity of unpaid domestic work, and increased risks of losing education and facing gender-based/domestic violence. Urban communities are at greater risk due to settlement density, stricter containment measures and scale of economic impact including in women’s labor force participation. Conversely, men too have lost jobs and income. Men’s perceived identity as the breadwinner and social expectation often stops men from seeking help when facing compounding distress under the pandemic. These impacts are greatly affecting millennials (aged 18-40).
