The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened existing gender gaps and made life harder for women in Croatia. Traditional gender norms are key drivers of the unequal impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. They define women as primary caretakers and homemakers, and men as breadwinners. This, along with women earning less than men, has meant that women are more likely to be expected to work less or leave their jobs. To care for dependent family members, nearly 10% of women surveyed said they had stopped working during the pandemic to take care of children, as opposed to 4% of men. 31% of men and 22% of women believe that women should do most of the household work. Nearly 1 in 2 men believes it is better if the man earns the money and the woman stays at home. 38% of women share this view.
