Labor force data also reveal that COVID-19-related job losses have been borne disproportionately by women, and economists insist that "there will be no recovery without a she-covery; no she-covery without child care." 3 There has been a genuine acknowledgment of the pandemic's disproportionate effects on women, so the question we tackle in this article is whether women and gender have been central to news coverage of child care, which is an essential service for women's resumption of their regular work activities. The gender frame most commonly emerges in coverage focused on economic recovery, where often little more than a single mention of women emerges in the context of discussing the caretaking challenges that parents are experiencing during the pandemic. ./cache/cord-033828-a54virh0.txt ./txt/cord-033828-a54virh0.txt
