abstract: 'Crisis impacts are never gender-neutral, and COVID-19 is no exception.

  The pandemic has further exacerbated the gender and socioeconomic

  inequalities, therefore, crucial to undertake a gender impact analysis

  of COVID-19. This perspective paper highlights women''s vulnerability in

  the labor market and focused on the increasing unpaid workloads in the

  response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Focusing on various surveys,

  feminized sectors such as agriculture, garments have been hardest hit by

  the pandemic. Female workers have been rapidly lost their means to earn

  income and confined to homes. Beyond lost jobs and reduced working

  hours, the pandemic has also increased the time poverty of women. While

  pre-pandemic unpaid work burdens are well established as strong, the

  study indicates that burdens are escalated after-pandemic. Women

  balanced intensified unpaid care and domestic works simultaneously or

  make a tradeoff, without or minimal help from men. Such results suggest

  a gender-inclusive policy to minimize the effects of the pandemic,

  placing women at the center of focus.'
