Zusammenfassung
The Covid-19 pandemic emphasised existing inequalities that remain in Icelandic society today. While schools were never fully closed throughout the pandemic and people were free to leave their homes, the restrictions on people’s lives and movement did have a negative effect on gender equality. Unemployment rose among women who already had lower labour participation. Women were still responsible for the majority of unpaid domestic labour, and 2020 and 2021 saw a significant increase in domestic violence.
