&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dalberg research finds women from low-income sections were first to lose jobs and last to regain them due to COVID disruptions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;While the pandemic was tough on the nation&amp;rsquo;s poor, the women from the low-income section were dealt a harder blow, research has revealed. As a cash crunch hit household expenses, women&amp;rsquo;s nutrition, health and employment were the worst hit and the last to recover.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A study by consulting firm Dalberg &amp;mdash; conducted between March and October 2020 &amp;mdash;revealed that poorer women in India lost jobs more often than men during the pandemic. Also, they ate more frugally, rested less, and provided more care work that went unpaid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Quoting the study, a Bloomberg report said that following the first wave of COVID last year, women from poorer sections who lost their jobs took longer to re-enter the workforce.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tough days&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;About 10% of the women surveyed said they either ran out of food or ended up eating less as COVID impacted household incomes. Around 16% had limited or zero access to menstrual pads. Over 33% of married women among the respondents couldn&amp;rsquo;t access contraceptives since public health schemes were disrupted, the study found out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;To alleviate the problem, the report mooted expansion and &amp;lsquo;enlistment drives&amp;rsquo; in rural job guarantee schemes for women. It also suggested bundling menstrual pads with the government&amp;rsquo;s free food distribution scheme.&lt;/p&gt;

As a cash crunch hit household expenses, women&amp;rsquo;s nutrition, health and employment were the worst hit and the last to recover.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A study by consulting firm Dalberg &amp;mdash; conducted between March and October 2020 &amp;mdash;revealed that poorer women in India lost jobs more often than men during the pandemic. Also, they ate more frugally, rested less, and provided more care work that went unpaid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Quoting the study, a Bloomberg report said that following the first wave of COVID last year, women from poorer sections who lost their jobs took longer to re-enter the workforce.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tough days&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;About 10% of the women surveyed said they either ran out of food or ended up eating less as COVID impacted household incomes. Around 16% had limited or zero access to menstrual pads. Over 33% of married women among the respondents couldn&amp;rsquo;t access contraceptives since public health schemes were disrupted, the study found out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;To alleviate the problem, the report mooted expansion and &amp;lsquo;enlistment drives&amp;rsquo; in rural job guarantee schemes for women. It also suggested bundling menstrual pads with the government&amp;rsquo;s free food distribution scheme.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://thefederal.com/covid-19/less-food-more-work-pandemic-hit-poor-women-the-hardest-says-study/&quot; title=&quot;https://thefederal.com/covid-19/less-food-more-work-pandemic-hit-poor-women-the-hardest-says-study/&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dalberg research finds women from low-income sections were first to lose jobs and last to regain them due to COVID disruptions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;While the pandemic was tough on the nation&amp;rsquo;s poor, the women from the low-income section were dealt a harder blow, research has revealed. As a cash crunch hit household expenses, women&amp;rsquo;s nutrition, health and employment were the worst hit and the last to recover.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A study by consulting firm Dalberg &amp;mdash; conducted between March and October 2020 &amp;mdash;revealed that poorer women in India lost jobs more often than men during the pandemic. Also, they ate more frugally, rested less, and provided more care work that went unpaid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Quoting the study, a Bloomberg report said that following the first wave of COVID last year, women from poorer sections who lost their jobs took longer to re-enter the workforce.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tough days&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;About 10% of the women surveyed said they either ran out of food or ended up eating less as COVID impacted household incomes. Around 16% had limited or zero access to menstrual pads. Over 33% of married women among the respondents couldn&amp;rsquo;t access contraceptives since public health schemes were disrupted, the study found out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;To alleviate the problem, the report mooted expansion and &amp;lsquo;enlistment drives&amp;rsquo; in rural job guarantee schemes for women. It also suggested bundling menstrual pads with the government&amp;rsquo;s free food distribution scheme.&lt;/p&gt;

Less food, more work: pandemic hit poor women the hardest, says study

-TheFederal.com Dalberg research finds women from low-income sections were first to lose jobs and last to regain them due to COVID disruptions While the pandemic was tough on the nation’s poor, the women from the low-income section were dealt a harder blow, research has revealed. As a cash crunch hit household expenses, women’s nutrition, health and employment were the worst hit and the last to recover. A study by consulting firm Dalberg — conducted between March and October 2020 —revealed that poorer women in India lost jobs more often than men during the pandemic. Also, they ate more frugally, rested less, and provided more care work that went unpaid. Quoting the study, a Bloomberg report said that following the first wave of COVID last year, women from poorer sections who lost their jobs took longer to re-enter the workforce. Tough days About 10% of the women surveyed said they either ran out of food or ended up eating less as COVID impacted household incomes. Around 16% had limited or zero access to menstrual pads. Over 33% of married women among the respondents couldn’t access contraceptives since public health schemes were disrupted, the study found out. To alleviate the problem, the report mooted expansion and ‘enlistment drives’ in rural job guarantee schemes for women. It also suggested bundling menstrual pads with the government’s free food distribution scheme. Please click here to read more.
