A paper by Bush School Professor Raymond Robertson looks at the emotional toll COVID-19 had on working women in Pakistan.
The latest Mosbacher Institute White Paper, “Working Women in Pakistan during COVID-19,” presents survey results that reveal the effects COVID-19 had on women in Pakistan. While women around the world shouldered a disproportionately large burden during the COVID-19 crisis, the report is a new take on the emotional toll of COVID-19. The author, Raymond Robertson, director of the Mosbacher Institute and a professor at the Bush School of Government at Texas A&M University, says that the report helps us understand similar effects on working women in other developing countries.
The report was launched in Pakistan in September as part of a Pakistan Future of Women and Work Initiative and was covered in the Pakistani press in outlets such as Dawn, the Pakistan Observer, DND, and ProPakistani.
