Women and Child Care in Illinois: A Survey of Working Mothers During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Research output: Book/Report/Conference proceedingTechnical report

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted economic and educational systems. The economic downturn caused by the pandemic has had substantial and potentially long-term implications for women, with their labor force participation rate falling to its lowest level in three decades. Additionally, following the advice of public health experts, Illinois restricted face-to-face activities and closed in-person schools and daycare facilities, exacerbating the existing child care crisis.
