between February 2020 and February 2021 as the closure of care centers and schools during COVID-19 burdened working mothers with the additional responsibility of child and elder care. Many of them are still unable to return.
Women of color, in particular, have shouldered greater caretaking responsibilities than their white counterparts. Latina mothers are 1.6 times more likely than white mothers to be responsible for all childcare and housework, and Black mothers are twice as likely to take on those responsibilities, the McKinsey report found.
Poo, the labor activist, put it more bluntly: “If 60 percent of the American population is earning less than $50,000 a year, how are they going to pay someone a living wage to care for their family members?” “There are a lot of women not working today because they can’t go back to their jobs because they have no one to take care of their children — they can’t afford it,” he said.
Child tax credits, this is ok, But what about any women of color who provide in-home care to their elderly parents Tons of money is saved by not placing the elderly in nursing homes yet there are no 'tax credits' being offered esp during the pandemic.
I didn’t qualify for any Covid money support for the loss of business and it’s because I’m a one person operation. Nobody cares about the 1099 unless it’s to abuse us financially.
Noticing this and doing something about it are two very different things!
