Summary
This briefing paper examines outcomes for workers who have been placed on furlough and explores whether these vary by gender, using nationally representative data collected between April and July 2020.1 In this analysis, we investigate gender differences in 1) the working hours or furloughed workers; 2) their perceived job security; and 3) their financial security.
