Still today in France (one of the top countries in Europe for equality with the Nordics), there is 42% of income gaps within heterosexual couples against 9% between singles. The health crisis is increasing the pressure on mothers who reduce their working time or take parental leave to cope with it, and therefore further reduce their financial independence. Women’s freedom is on the decline!
