  have disproportionately impacted women. This has exacerbated income inequ
 ality and worsened social inequities worldwide\, chief among them: women’s
  labor force participation. Despite the exodus of women from the labor mar
 ket during the pandemic\, a few promising trends are emerging. Women are p
 ursuing online education\, including STEM courses\, at a higher rate than 
 pre-pandemic. While education is not a complete cure\, the gender gap in o
 nline learning narrowed during the pandemic\, even despite the widening em
 ployment gap. As the world faces new skills imperatives\, we catch glimpse
