While many businesses have been adversely affected by COVID-19 and are reducing the workforces, some areas of the economy have increased demand for workers, including in industries and occupations dominated by women, such as the health and care sectors. The Morrison government is supporting social infrastructure sectors such as health, aged care, disability care, education and childcare through the COVID-19 pandemic. Many women who work in these sectors have been on the front lines throughout this pandemic and will continue to play a critical role in Australia's COVID-19 economic response and recovery.

Question agreed to.
