Women architects and interior designers have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic, according to initial research.
They were more likely to be furloughed and significantly more likely to be made redundant, figures show, while anecdotal evidence suggests those not furloughed were expected to carry out more of the childcare and domestic chores than their male colleagues, while juggling heavy workloads.
According to a study from the Women’s Budget Group based on HMRC data, women made up 52% of all workers who were placed on furlough across all industries between March and August last year, with around 133,000 more women furloughed than men.

A student medic told the Manchester Arena bomb inquiry how he became the clinical lead organising the treatment of casualties moments after the blast.
Ryan Billington, then 20, was praised for his heroic efforts following the May 2017 terror attack which left 22 dead and hundreds more seriously injured.
Working at nights for a medical services contractor while at university, he was on duty at the arena when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated a huge device in his backpack.
