My paper on cross-country evidence on she-cession with amazing co-authors @johnbluedorn @njharbo @fgcaselli @tavares_mm is now accepted at Labour Economics. doi.org/10.1016/j.labeco.202…. It was a very time-sensitive paper when first posted as IMFWKP, and I'm happy with the outcome.

My new #IMFblog about the pandemic’ toll in #wokingmothers. @KGeorgieva @diegobpgomes @StefaniaFabriz4
The pandemic has disproportionally impacted #workingmothers, leading to a loss of almost 0.4% in economic growth in the US through the end of 2020.

New @voxeu column out about the heterogeneity of #Shecession around the world.
“In 2/3 of countries women’s unemployment rate declines more than men’s, but the difference was short-lived.”

***New Working Paper***
We study the extent and persistence of #Shecession in a panel of 38 countries. Our main findings are:
❌2/3 to 1/2 of our sample experienced she-cessions.
❌She-cessions are typically short-lived and explained by within sectors heterogeneity.

Latest @IMFNews research finds that COVID-19 is accelerating a shift away from jobs in sectors more-vulnerable-to-automation. Many job losses could become permanent. For the right policy response read blog by John Bluedorn. #IMFBlog: ow.ly/tQsn50EcUHZ

Join us tomorrow for a discussion about the impact of #COVID19 on the labor market and how policies can support workers.
@johnbluedorn @ShibataEcon @fgcaselli @JMondragonECON
How does the impact of the COVID-19 recession on workers compare with past downturns?
What policies are needed to support workers? Join us tomorrow, March 31 at 10:00 AM ET for the launch of our new #WEO research. imf.org/WEO-apr21
