Final Year Project

Project Title

Assessing How the COVID-19 Pandemic Has Disproportionately Impacted Women: Analyzing a Gendered Economy

Description

The COVID-19 pandemic drastically altered nearly every aspect of human society - from politics, international relations, healthcare, social living, and the economy. Through the collection of primary data (in the form of semi-structured interviews), and secondary research, this paper addresses how women have been disproportionately impacted by the ongoing pandemic, by applying a particular focus on the gendered economy, and specifically how disparities within employment rates and wages between men and women, alongside the prevalence of the unacknowledged care economy in Pakistan, are indicative of how even a shattered economic situation still carries gendered implications.
