Millions of low-wage women are being left behind in the pandemic recovery. Here's why:
between February 2020 and February 2021 as the closure of care centers and schools during COVID-19 burdened working mothers with the additional responsibility of child and elder care. Many of them are still unable to return.
Women of color, in particular, have shouldered greater caretaking responsibilities than their white counterparts. Latina mothers are 1.6 times more likely than white mothers to be responsible for all childcare and housework, and Black mothers are twice as likely to take on those responsibilities, the McKinsey report found.
Poo, the labor activist, put it more bluntly: “If 60 percent of the American population is earning less than $50,000 a year, how are they going to pay someone a living wage to care for their family members?” “There are a lot of women not working today because they can’t go back to their jobs because they have no one to take care of their children — they can’t afford it,” he said.
