The median amount of COVID-related benefits was higher among core-aged men

Infographic description

The title of the infographic is "The median amount of COVID-related benefits was higher among core-aged men"

This is an image with two horizontal bar charts each facing outwards, with the vertical axis in between the two bar charts.

The vertical axis shows the following age groups from top to bottom: 15 years and older, 15 to 19 years, 20 to 24 years, 25 to 54 years, 55 to 64 years, and 65 years and older.

The horizontal axis is mirrored against the vertical axis and is identical for both bar charts. The horizontal axis represents the median amount received in 2020 constant dollars among those who received any COVID-related benefits from $0 to $6,000, by increments of $1,000.

The bar chart on the left represents the median amount received by "Women+" in each age group among those who received any COVID-related benefits, with $920 received by those aged 15 years and older, $5,000 received by those aged 15 to 19 years, $5,200 received by those aged 20 to 24 years, $1,390 received by those aged 25 to 54 years, $1,180 received by those aged 55 to 64 years, and $604 received by those aged 65 years and older.

The bar chart on the left represents the median amount received by "Men+" in each age group among those who received any COVID-related benefits, with $1,080 received those aged 15 years and older, $5,000 received by those aged 15 to 19 years, $4,320 received by those aged 20 to 24 years, $3,960 received by those aged 25 to 54 years, $2,500 received by those aged 55 to 64 years, and $584 received by those aged 65 years and older.

Note(s): Given that the non-binary population is small, data aggregation to a two-category gender variable is sometimes necessary to protect the confidentiality of responses provided. In these cases, individuals in the category "non-binary persons" are distributed into the other two gender categories and are denoted by the "+" symbol. The category "Women+" includes women, as well as some non-binary persons. The category "Men+" includes men, as well as some non-binary persons.
