Luisa S. Flor et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the indirect effects of COVID-19 on gender disparities globally. The findings showed that during the pandemic, women experienced greater inequality in employment, forgoing work to care for others, dropping out of school, and experiencing gender-based violence. These results indicate the need for prioritizing policies that promote women's participation in the labor force and education, enabling them to overcome the barriers they face.
