Abstract
Authors try to assess the Covid-19’s and the lockdown policy’s impact on the
attitude and capability of women toward work and labour force participation. Data used
come from an online survey on women working conditions before and
during the lockdown as well as their perspective on their post-lockdown situation.The
analysis carried out relies on Item Response Theory to estimate a latent measure that captures the
capability of women to commit fruitfully in their work activities. Such
estimation has been used to compare how the lockdown impacted on this factor. The results suggest a
predictable worsening of the women working conditions and perspectives, but they also
show that this worsening was not symmetric across all the categories of women.
