Valuing young women’s unpaid work
Young women's unpaid work keeps families afloat, supports job opportunities for others and drives economic growth.
No young woman should be at the back of the queue as the country tries to cope with the coronavirus crisis.
At the moment, the government isn’t accurately measuring the impact of the coronavirus on young women. Unless the government knows how many young women are being affected and who’s struggling the most, they can’t provide targeted support.
Our latest research
Our report, Picking up the pieces shows how millions of young women across the country have struggled and felt ignored throughout this crisis and the toll it has taken on their careers, finances, home life and mental health.
The report includes real stories from young women, gathered by young women who trained and were paid as peer researchers, about what life has been like for them during the pandemic. It also looks at young women’s attitudes to the government and the role activism plays in their lives.
