Lack of job security, lower salaries and being more hands-on when caring for the sick in their homes during the Covid-19 pandemic may have put women in a more vulnerable position for mental health disorders, a new study suggests.

The co-author of the study, Prof Charles Shey Wiysonge from the Medical Research Council and honorary professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of Cape Town , said this was anticipated because women are more likely to be affected by the social and economic consequences of the pandemic.

“They are also more likely to be victims of domestic violence, the prevalence of which increased during periods of lockdown and stay-at-home orders,” he said. Furthermore, young people are more likely to become unemployed during and following economic crises than older people.
