Women entrepreneurs adversely affected by Covid19

Covid pandemic has adversely affected all sections of society all over the world but it's impact on the female has been higher proportionately.According to a report Mckinsey & Co , female job-loss rates resulting from covid are about 1.8 times those for males.
The increased household burden on women led to reduction in their self-care and even lesser time for their business.
A study conducted by Mint shows 45% of women-led businesses that faced permanent closure do not foresee starting another enterprise ever again. This is alarming.
However, Government of India has taken various steps towards women’s economic empowerment by way of initiatives like Stree Shakti package, Udyogini scheme, Mahila Udyam Nidhi scheme, etc. but in country like ours where we are still striving for equitable environment for women entrepreneurship it becomes more difficult to make understand the worst women has faced during this pandemic.
