A survey conducted at the end of 2020 found that more than half of women who quit their jobs due to a COVID-19 related reason did so because their child's school or daycare was closed. An additional 42 percent did so because they did not feel safe at work due to the virus. 2020 was the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
