It is no secret that women have been the hardest hit by the COVID 19 pandemic. During the pandemic,
women have disproportionately been responsible for keeping their families safe, while juggling work
schedules, fulltime childcare, and home schooling. Many women have reached their breaking point.
Since the pandemic started, more than 2 million women have dropped out of the labor force - a rate
four times that of men. Many more have cut back on their work hours. By some estimates, women’s
labor force participation is now no better than it was twenty years ago. When women earn less, a
family’s standard of living declines, family savings disappear, and a women’s future retirement income
drops.
