Women are making a significant contribution to the COVID-19 response and recovery. While many businesses have been adversely affected by COVID-19 and are reducing their workforces, some areas of the economy have an increased demand for workers, including in industries and occupations dominated by women, such as the health and care sectors. Some male dominated industries are also seeing positive demand, such as in transport and logistics, and mining and mining services. It will be critical that these industries draw upon everyone's full capabilities, both men and women, to accelerate our overall recovery as a society and as an economy.
