“…Providing evidence from Africa, Alon, Doepke, et al (2022) also highlight that, similar to high‐income nations, mothers with school‐age children also faced the largest decreases in employment due to the pandemic. These findings were also echoed in the context of other developing countries such as India (Allard et al, 2022) and Zimbabwe (Mabugu et al, 2023).…”

This article studies the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on men's labour supply in the West Bank and Gaza, both on the extensive (participation) and intensive (hours of work) margins. We find that the pandemic was associated with a decline in employment and labour supply in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic, with large adjustments at the intensive margin. Afterwards, labour market indicators quickly bounced back to their pre‐pandemic levels, but less so for the most vulnerable segments of the workforce, such as informal workers, workers in blue collar occupations, the least educated, and residents in refugee camps.

“…Evidence from South Asia has shown that women are less able to migrate for work (Amirapu, Asadullah, and Wahhaj 2022). This is exacerbated following shocks (Allard et al 2022;Afridi, Mahajan, and Sangwan 2021) and women who do manage to migrate often face higher risks, greater barriers to accessing resources for displaced populations, and impediments to remigration (Sierra Club and UN WOMEN 2018).…”

“…The existing literature mainly explains the phenomenon of health inequalities from three perspectives: socio-economic status, lifestyle, and social psychology. First, regarding socio-economic status, studies have demonstrated the unequal relationship between health inequality and income, education, and occupation [ 9 , 10 ]. Compared to males, female migrant workers find it more difficult to get leave, have relatively low work income, heavier work and life burdens, and their health level is usually lower than that of male migrant workers [ 11 ].…”

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the distribution and differences in the health status of migrant workers in China by gender and age. In addition, it investigated the causes of health inequalities among them.Methods: This paper analyzes the differences in health status across age groups for migrant workers of different genders based on the data from the China Migrant Dynamic Survey in 2018. It also empirically assesses how education level and health insurance impact gender-related health inequalities.Results: The results suggest that female migrant workers in China have significantly lower health levels than males. Furthermore, these differences in health are exacerbated with age. This disparity may be attributed to lower participation in social insurance participation and less educational attainment among female migrant workers than their male counterparts.Conclusion: The government should take effective practical measures to increase the social insurance participation rate of female migrant workers. Moreover, investing in female education to reduce health inequality among migrant workers is essential.
