For items 30-33 read the texts below.
Women: The Bigger Victims
(1)There is now solid evidence that the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have fallen more heavily on women.
(2)There are at least four ways that the adverse impacts of the pandemic and the resulting recession are lopsided against
women worldwide.
(3)First, the medical and economic frontliners, who have been most exposed to the virus, are predominantly women.
(4)Data from the European Institute for Gender Equality indicate that of the 49 million health care workers in the EU, around 76
percent are women, thereby outnumbering men three to one.
(5)Second, women also dominate the jobs in the economy that are hardest hit by the pandemic recession.
(6)These jobs are in restaurants, hotels, and tourism establishments; retail establishments, personal services like hair and
beauty salons, and in schools.
(7)Third, the brunt of housework and child care responsibilities—including mentoring children on their online classes — has
fallen on women, especially where women work from home while their husbands don’t.
(8)A study by McKinsey found mothers to be more than three times as likely to meet the majority of the demands for housework
and caregiving during the pandemic, compared with fathers.
(9)Fourth, women have suffered from increased domestic violence that the pandemic has brought about in many places. (10)As
early as April 2020, United Nations Secretary General António Guterres noted a “horrifying global surge in domestic violence” since
the start of the COVID-19 lockdowns. (11)Researchers have attributed it to stress due to increased social isolation. (12)As we plan
our way out of the pandemic crisis, we clearly need to pay due attention to the welfare of women, who, through no fault of their own,
have been its bigger victims.
