abstract: 'Gender inequality in the access to the labour market and income

  distribution has increased as a consequence of the economic impacts of

  the global pandemic due to the higher presence of women employed in the

  economic sectors most vulnerable to lockdown and shutdown and with the

  least opportunity to continue to work remotely or from home. The risk of

  receiving lower income protection is higher for women due to their more

  discontinuous working profile and their higher presence in precarious

  jobs. Gender distribution of unpaid care and domestic work load is

  persistently unequal. Blindness on the gender impact of public policies

  designed in the emergence of first wave of the pandemic had the effect

  of deepening pre-existing gender inequalities showing that integration

  of gender analysis dissipates as the policy process develops leading to

  the evaporation of gender equality in economic policy making. Actions

  acknowledging the roots of gender inequalities together with the

  implementation of gender mainstreaming at all levels of economic

  policies are needed to revert this trend and to lead to a more gender

  equal society.'
