研究:新冠疫情加剧全球性别不平等
China Daily
疫情暴发后,女性的失业率、辍学率都高于男性,女性承担的无偿劳动和遭受的性别暴力也增多了。
一项全球研究显示,新冠疫情正在加剧全球性别不平等的现状。疫情暴发后,女性的失业率、辍学率都高于男性,女性承担的无偿劳动和遭受的性别暴力也增多了。研究人员警告称,再不采取行动,过去几十年来在性别平等上取得的成就都将付之东流。
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic threatens to reverse decades of progress made towards gender equality, according to a global study that reveals women have been hit much harder socially and economically than men.
一项全球研究显示,新冠疫情对女性在社会和经济层面带来的打击比对男性的打击要沉重得多,这一影响可能会逆转几十年来在性别平等上取得的进步。
Previously, coronavirus-related gender disparity studies have focused on the direct health impacts of the crisis. It is well known, for example, that across the globe men have experienced higher rates of Covid cases, hospitalisation and death. However, until now, few studies have examined how gender inequalities have been affected by the many indirect social and economic effects of the pandemic worldwide.
先前开展的与新冠疫情相关的性别不平等研究主要聚焦于危机对健康的直接影响。举例而言,众所周知,从全球来看男性的感染率、住院率和死亡率都更高。然而,迄今为止很少有研究关注疫情在世界范围内间接引起的众多社会和经济影响对性别不平等产生的作用。
The research, conducted by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington and published in the Lancet, shows that women have experienced greater negative social and economic impacts than men.
华盛顿大学健康指标与评估研究所开展的这项研究表明,在社会和经济方面,女性遭受的负面影响比男性更大。该研究发表在《柳叶刀》期刊上。
