In this video, Hannah Illing compares the costs of losing a job for men and women. Forming statistical pairs to undertake a valid comparison, Illing’s research shows that women bear substantially higher costs than men when they lose a job and this can be exacerbated by their having children. Illing also ponders how Covid-19 might also have an impact in this regard, an interesting avenue for future research.
