The COVID-19 (C19) pandemic took a tremendous toll on countries around the world. As numerous studies suggest, women bore a larger burden during the C19 crisis than they usually do during economic recessions. Pakistan was no exception. To understand the impact of C19 in Pakistan, Texas A&M University, S&P Global, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-Pakistan Business Council designed a survey of women entrepreneurs and women in the workforce Pakistan. The results show that women in the formal economy of Pakistan shouldered a significant burden during the C19 crisis, exacerbating existing challenges faced by women in the formal economy pre-pandemic.
