Unpacking the Post-lockdown Employment Recovery of Young Women in the Global South

This paper, published in the IZA Institute of Labor Economics Discussion Paper Series, analyses the difference in short-term employment recovery between young men and women in India, Peru and Vietnam following the national lockdowns imposed in all three countries during 2020. 

The authors used a mediation model to establish whether - and to what extent - commonly suggested mechanisms are responsible for relatively slower recovery among young women and an increase in the gender employment gap.
