  • Health: The Best Acupressure Mats And Why You Should Have One At Home

When the first (and hopefully last) year of the Covid-19 era is fulfilled, we can affirm that the virus has contaminated almost all of our lives.

The health crisis, with so many losses, the social and economic consequences are palpable every day.

Some burdens that women have suffered in a different way.

According to the HR company Ranstad, the pandemic has caused the

hiring of women to fall by 29% in 2020.

Or translated into absolute numbers: female workers have stopped signing 225,000 contracts.

Logically, the happy virus has also affected men, although they have signed almost

26% fewer contracts than they.

Another gap.

The most affected are those under 25 years of age and four out of ten contracts signed by women have been in the health sector, in commerce or in agriculture.

Caring for children and the elderly is also a very valuable task to which women dedicate more time.

Many times it constitutes one more obstacle to access the labor market and, once inside, to escape as much as possible from precariousness.

In addition, according to a study published a few days ago by EAE Business School, women occupy

34% of management positions

in companies, a figure that is improving but is far from being equal.

Therefore, today we want to highlight stories of self-employment and entrepreneurship written in feminine.

All of them women who have raised their dreams with effort in sectors as diverse as music, fashion and cosmetics, who have also bravely launched into online commerce.

Because thanks to ecommerce platforms,

there are no limits or barriers.
