■ 코로나19 위기에서 대면서비스업 등 여성종사자 비중이 높은 업종에서 노동수요가 감소하였으며, 자녀돌봄 부담 가중 등으로 기혼여성의 노동공급이 제한되면서 과거 위기와 달리 고용충격은 남성보다 여성에 집중됨.

■ 코로나19 위기에서 부각된 일가정 양립의 어려움과 그로 인한 여성 노동공급의 제약을 해소하기 위한 정책이 수행될 필요

■ 이와 함께 코로나19 위기에서 대면서비스업 등 노동수요 충격을 크게 받은 부문의 실직자들에 대한 고용지원도 병행될 필요

■ The Covid-19 crisis has diminished the labor demand in business areas where women are mainly engaged in, such as in-person services, and restricted the supply of married women due to the increased burden of at-home child care. As a result, the employment shock was concentrated on women rather than men, unlike in past crises.

■ It is recommended that the government should implement policy measures to resolve the challenges related to the balance between work and family, which grew more evident during the pandemic, and resulting limitations in the labor supply of women.

■ Furthermore, employment support should be also provided for laid-off workers in hard-hit sectors that were severely impacted by the labor demand shock during the Covid-19 crisis.
