批发和零售贸易；房地产、商业和行政活动；和制造业。9 由于疫情，失去生计来源的妇女多于男子。10非正规经济中的妇女，包括必要工作人员和家政工人，获得社会保障和带薪病假的机会有限或没有，而且很少受到解雇保护，她们受到的影响尤其大。11 据估计，在疫情第一个月，全球非正规工人平均损失了 60%的收入。12 妇女占世界卫生工作人员的 70%，感染病毒的风险增加；现有数据表明，72%受感染的卫生工作者是妇女。13 由于疫情限制、封闭以及学校和护理中心关闭，越来越多的无偿护理和家务工作继续由妇女和女童承担，14 加剧了普遍和根深蒂固的性别分工。
At the global level, 40 per cent of all employed women work in hard-hit sectors, including accommodation and food services; wholesale and retail trade; real estate, business and administrative activities; and manufacturing. 9 More women than men have lost their sources of livelihood as a result of COVID-19.10 Women in the informal economy, including essential workers and domestic workers, with limited or no access to social security and paid sick leave and few protections against dismissal, have been particularly affected.11 It is estimated that, at the global level, informal workers lost on average 60 per cent of their income in the first month of the pandemic.12 Women represent 70 per cent of the world’s health workforce and are at increased risk of exposure to the virus (available data indicate that 72 per cent of infected health workers are women).13 As a result of COVID-19-related containment, lockdowns and school and care centre closures, the increasing volume of unpaid care and domestic work continues to be carried out by women and girls, 14 exacerbating the prevailing and entrenched gender division of labour.
