[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet, women in the work force have been disproportionately impacted by losing their jobs. An interesting contradiction. [/quote] I don't think so. I work with low-income, first-gen college students. During the Pandemic, many low-income young people are providing even more financial support for family members than before. If young women are being laid off and everyone would like to see older family members protected from frontline jobs, then young men will be the ones working to support the family. In my experience, young men may benefit more from the bonds/social support system that comes with living on campus, so online education may be less appealing to them, but I think a big driver is family financial distress.
