14% of women considered quitting their jobs because of the coronavirus pandemic
- vegetablepotpie 6y ago>Eleven percent of men told the pay-equity software company that they have considered doing the same. Is a 3% difference statistically significant? The article details inequities in employment between men and women, but I don’t think this survey shows an example of that.

- nmstoker 6y agoHere's the link to the survey results: https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-67XBXHYX7/ https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-67XBXHYX7/ It's a shame that they did not record/release data on the number of children the respondents have, as this is likely to be a major input to the decision about whether someone would give up work. There are exceptions scenarios but broadly it seems reasonable to expect more children would make it more worthwhile to give up. There are some other quirks in he results: differing age distributions of men and women - you could imagine that if people were asked in person that traditionally some women may be more reticent to give the true answer but responding inaccurately online seems a little odd. It's also instructive that about 5% of respondents had considered quitting but hadn't told their partner.
