A new word was forged to indicate the gendered effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on economic activity: “shecession.” In fact, there is plenty of evidence that the toll of Covid-19 was higher on women not only in the economic sphere, such as for employment, but also on mental health. In this paper, we investigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on gender differences in university students’ progression (number of credits earned) using administrative data from a large public university located in one of the mostly affected regions by the first pandemic wave.
