- Description
- Globally, as more people are at home than ever, due to measures and lockdowns against the corona virus, the need for household chores and care has multiplied. The Women Count programme of UN Women has rolled out Rapid Gender Assessment surveys (RGAs) in nearly 50 countries to monitor how these results are being used to improve the design of COVID-19 programmes and interventions and is documenting 'use cases' that integrate RGA results within gender-responsive planning, programming, or advocacy work amid COVID-19. Gathering these gender data is helping countries prioritize the rights of women and girls. .In this report data were analyzed on who is doing more unpaid domestic and care work, the increase of time spent on household chores by women and men, involvement of sons and daughters, overwork or job loss by domestic workers, average hours spent on childcare, who is giving up paid work, and COVID-19 policy measures by governments on women's economic security and unpaid care work.
