2 Gender and Intersectionality The covid-19 pandemic has presented a major threat to the gains women have made in the workplace in recent years. Del Boca, Oggero, Profeta, and Rossi (2020) stated that working from home has highlighted and compounded the heavier domestic burden borne by women. Here, women have been forced to think about career sacrifices to care for their children and families. It is worth noting that Covid-19 is hard on women because the United States economy is hard on women, and many of them are shouldering the majority of family caregiving roles in the face of a childcare system. In this interview assignment, I managed to ask one of my colleagues about the hardship in the current Covid-19 era. Me -Do you see people leaving early or working fewer hours at their workplace in order to care for their children? Colleague 1 -Yes, I have seen a considerable number of people, particularly women leaving early and working a few hours in order to have time to care for their children. I have noted that one out of ten women has been quitting their job citing pandemic-related reasons. Many of the women I have questioned say that they leave jobs because they feel unsafe in the workplace. Some of them have cited that Covid-19 have limited their time to care for their children as they have been required to work from home, which has increased their parental pressure. Some women reported that school closures had had a substantial effect on working mothers’ capability to achieve work obligations. The majority of these women said that they left home early due to daycare and school closures. In addition, some women felt that family caregiving completely fell on their shoulders as their partners looked for an alternative way of survival due to layoffs.
