The paper also makes this point: examined through the prism of gender equality, the ability of the state to implement countercyclical policies matters greatly.

The latter is particularly important in the context of developing countries, where many production activities take place outside the strict boundaries of the market. In addition, the gendered nature of the world of work suggests that women will see an increase in their share among informal and vulnerable workers worldwide, and will also supply more of their labor under unpaid conditions. As demand for textile and agricultural exports decline, along with tourism, job losses are expected to rise in these female-intensive industries. This paper explores both well-known and less discussed paths of transmission through which crises affect women’s world of work and overall wellbeing. Indeed, for many developing countries it is particularly worrisome that, through no fault of their own, the global economic downturn has exacerbated effects from other crises manifest in food insecurity, poverty, and increasing inequality. In the midst of the current global crisis-often referred to as “the Great Recession”-there is grave concern that progress made in poverty reduction and women’s equality will be reversed. However, middle-income nations experienced the largest hit to their gross. In low-income countries, average excess mortality reached 34, followed by 14 in middle-income countries and 10 in high-income ones. Widespread economic recessions and protracted financial crises have been documented as setting back gender equality and other development goals in the past. Although the COVID-19 pandemic affected all parts of the world in 2020, low-, middle- and high-income nations were hit in different ways.
