MANILA - While the e-commerce industry was one of the few businesses that thrived during the worldwide crisis, gender parity in Philippine-based online shopping companies also took a significant dip,

according to a study by an e-commerce aggregator.

From Filipinas possessing 55 percent of the high-ranking job titles, however, the figure fell to just 39 percent during the COVID-19 pandemic. “According to NPR, there are much more women leaving the workforce than men during the pandemic. There may still be a distinction of gender roles within the household due to the many years of women’s unconscious bias to be family-oriented. That said, Filipinas may be taking care of their children, who are coerced to be educated at home, ” iPrice reasoned.
