Indonesia as a country that still holds a patriarchal culture, and the Covid-19 pandemic has negatively impacted women. The study aims to: 1) analyze women’s spending conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic; and 2) analyze what factors affect women’s spending during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results of this study can be used as material to formulate women’s economic policies in the future. This study is a type of quantitative research using multiple regression analysis tools. Based on the results obtained: a) the average years of schooling has no significant effect on women’s spending during the Covid-19 pandemic; b) the gender development index has a significant and positive effect on women’s spending during the Covid-19 pandemic; and c) open unemployment has a significant effect on women’s spending during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Keywords: Covid-19, women’s spending, average length of school, gender development index, open unemployment
