Role Of Women

It is known that women experience heavier physical and psychological burdens more than men. This is closely related to the traditional role of women because of the absence of women’s authority in themselves. In the coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 pandemic situation, the role of women has increased, namely taking on a protective role. With this additional burden, the physical and psychological burden on women becomes heavier and has the potential to create health problems in the future. In this mini review, the authors discuss the potential impact of implementing the COVID-19’s prevention protocol on women’s lives. It was concluded that there were serious and very large potential consequences for women, in terms of physically, psychologically, or emotionally; thus, early anticipations are really needed.

Issues on marginalization of women in labour market have always become an important discussion in developing countries. The success of economic development represented by high economic growth for some extend has even been argued as factor behind the low role of women in labour market. Does it mean that when economic growth decrease women participation in labour market will be better? In fact the economic crisis hit Indonesia since 1997, which lower the economic growth becoming minus, put women as first victim. Their role in labor market were even worsening. At least the evidence can be seen from the result of this study. Their participation in labour market is increasing, but it can not be interpreted as a better condition! maight be true that women were forced to enter labour market because of economic pressure in the household due to the crisis.
