Abstract

There is an obvious tendency that employed females have lower quality jobs and work in less favorable conditions compared to their male colleagues. Researches indicate there are no signs the situation is going to change in near future having in mind that many social, economic, and legal obstacles to the strengthening of the female population remained. Their position was further worsened by the pandemic, which neutralized long-term efforts to improve the position of the female population as a vulnerable social category. The aim of this paper is to show how the pandemic in the past two years has further deepened gender inequalities and put the female workforce in an even more unfavorable position. In the paper, a descriptive and comparative method was used to analyze the position of the male and female populations in the labor market.
