This Thematic Brief provides a gender analysis of the economic impacts and recovery measures to COVID-19 in the Pacific. The Thematic Brief outlines the five key areas in which the gender impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic emerged. The Brief also highlights how a lack of gendered economic policy and budgeting results in economic response measures that benefit men, whilst failing to reach women. Information collated, while not exhaustive, draws from an extensive range of Pacific and global sources, including civil society organisations and anecdotal evidence from Pacific Women partners, and the findings of a gender analysis of the economic recovery measures in Fiji, commissioned by Pacific Women.
