Women are more likely to be unpaid carers for disabled and/or elderly family members.
They are more likely to be employed in low paid, low skilled jobs which are often zero hour contracts or are at higher risk of redundancy.
Women are more likely to be single parents.
Women are more likely to be the main carer for children.
Women are more likely to be claiming benefits, including in-work top ups, they are also more likely to be food bank users.
Women are more likely to be abused, including financial abuse.
Basically women are more likely to fall into one or more of the vulnerable groups who are going to be hit hardest by this.
Childcare is going to be an issue too and this will force more women out of the workplace rather than into it as someone will need to care for the children and women are more likely to be the lower earner in joint households.
Where I live the only day nursery in the local area is closing due to the increase in running costs, its no longer sustainable. The staff (all women) are being made redundant. The only other childcare provision is two childminders who are both full, the school nursery which is for age 3+, and the school wraparound club which is for age 5+. Essentially this means there is no nearby childcare for the under 3s. Many other providers around the country will be in the same position, some will close and others will need to increase their fees. If there is no childcare, or the childcare becomes unaffordable, it will be predominantly women who will have to drop their hours or give work altogether to plug the gap.
