Il lavoro femminile ai tempi del Covid-19 : un'analisi a partire dall'etica della cura

In recent months it has been increasingly observed that the Covid19 pandemic has exacerbated economic and social inequalities, especially from a gender perspective: the overlap between the need to care for children as well as dependent family members, and the household management with the abrupt shift to working from home has often led to a setback in families balances, previously centered on the equitable sharing of work and care burdens. The present article pursues three main objectives: firstly, to assess the extent of the gender inequalities generated by the emergency phase; secondly, to analyse how governments' measures Italian ones in particular have affected them; and, lastly, to provide some suggestions on how institutions could prevent a regression in the work equality between men and women in the future, in view of new pandemic waves.
