"The COVID-19 health crisis has had strong repercussions for the EU labour market, despite the employment and income support measures adopted. The outbreak has also highlighted the importance of providing workers with essential services, such as healthcare, ICT and utilities, education and emergency services (including support services for victims of domestic violence) (ILO, 2020a). The European Institute for Gender Equality's (EIGE) analysis shows that women are over-represented in many of these essential jobs."
