Women are feeling more pressure at work due to the COVID-19 crisis than men are

Visual form

Grouped survey bar chart.

Layout / body structure

The chart is a single comparison chart organized by workplace-pressure categories. Read it category by category, comparing the women and men bars within each group.

What is being compared

The chart compares women and men on several COVID-19-era work experiences, including feeling exhausted, burned out, under pressure to work more, and needing to stay always on.

Measurement system

The measure is survey share in percent for each feeling or pressure category. The repeated gender pairing lets the reader compare the two groups on the same question.

Visible structure inside the graphic

Each pressure-related topic appears as its own grouped comparison, with women’s responses set beside men’s. The layout makes the chart a row of repeated gender gaps rather than a single one-off difference.

Main takeaway from the visual

The chart shows that women are experiencing more sustained workplace strain than men across several closely related measures at once. The gaps are not limited to one burnout indicator; they run across exhaustion, pressure, and always-on expectations.

Key standout values or extremes

The strongest visual pattern is that the women’s bar is higher than the men’s bar in each major pressure category. The chart is built to show a repeated gap, not a single isolated outlier.
