COVID-19 impacts women, working mothers

 

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) World Bank annual meetings have kicked off including a virtual session on the damage the COVID-19 pandemic has done to the jobs and incomes of working women and mothers.

Opening remarks were given by IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, who is under scrutiny after an independent report alleged she pressured colleagues to change data while working at the World Bank.
