How the COVID-19 epidemic changed working conditions in France
Anne Lambert, Joanie Cayouette-Remblière, Elie Guéraut, Guillaume Le Roux, Catherine Bonvalet, Violaine Girard, Laetitia Langlois

The COVID-19 pandemic lockdown forced many people in France to stop working and others to change their working arrangements. With widespread teleworking, these disruptions affected occupational categories unequally. The effects on home life for men, women, and children differed across social categories, as Anne Lambert and her colleagues explain, drawing on data from the Coconel survey.

Guilmoto reveal significant differences between those countries where Caesarean sections are performed abusively and the rate is above the WHO-recommended standard—from 10% to 15%—and those where it is below.
