BOE’s Tenreyro Says Covid May Be a Setback for Women’s Pay

Bank of England policy maker Silvana Tenreyro said that the coronavirus pandemic may prove to be detrimental to many women’s careers and pay.

“The crisis has been a huge shock for women in particular who have taken a little more of the domestic burden,” she said in a webinar with students at Warwick University. “I hope that this will not have a longer term impact on their pay. But I do worry that this is a setback for the women who have been progressing in their careers.”
