Abstract

The outbreak of coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in late 2019 has brought great changes and impacts to all over the world. After reading related research, the author finds that the impact of COVID-19 on the public is mainly concentrated in three aspects: economy, behavior, and psychology. Besides, from the view of gender, there are plenty of difference in these aspects. However, through further investigation, the author finds that there are few studies which concentrate on the impact of COVID-19 from the perspective of gender. Therefore, by analyzing and comparing different research results, the author explores the impact of COVID-19 on different genders from economic, psychological, and behavioral aspects. The results of this study are as follows: in the economic dimension, women are more impacted than men; in the psychological dimension, women have more irrational behaviors; in the psychological dimension, women have more negative emotions. As a result, the author suggests that the government and enterprises should actively shoulder social responsibilities, promote normalization of epidemic prevention and control, and at the same time give women supportive policies to help them cope with the negative impact of COVID-19.
