The economic environment shaped during Donald Trump’s presidency has had disproportionate negative effects on women, particularly those from marginalized communities. Wage growth remained sluggish for female workers, especially in sectors dominated by women such as healthcare, education, and service industries. The administration’s rollback of labor protections and opposition to paid family leave policies weakened critical support systems. Additionally, cuts to social programs impacted access to childcare and healthcare, increasing financial strain on women, who often serve as primary caregivers. Economic data shows that while unemployment rates declined overall, gender and racial disparities in income and employment opportunities persisted or widened. These structural challenges suggest that the benefits of the pre-pandemic economic expansion were not equally shared.
