On April 7-8, Kyiv School of Economics organized the conference “Rethinking Gender: Economic and Social Cost of Gender inequality”. VoxUkraine talked to one of the keynote speakers of the conference, Michèle Tertilt, who presented the research paper “This Time It’s Different: The Role of Women’s Employment in a Pandemic Recession” (a brief version of this research was published on VoxEU). This paper is a part of a larger research project that investigates how the 2020 recession caused by the pandemics affected the labor market. When the first lockdowns were introduced in spring 2020, Dr. Tertilt and her co-authors immediately saw that it disproportionately affected women and decided to investigate this impact.
