<p>So far, the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) has helped 1.2 million employers
across the UK furlough 9.6 million jobs, protecting people’s livelihoods. The latest
data shows that across the UK, 1.6 million female employees were furloughed at the
end of August and 1.5 million male employees. This data is publicly available on GOV.UK.</p><p>
</p><p>When designing the CJRS and subsequent reforms, the Government undertook an
analysis of how the policies were likely to affect individuals with protected characteristics
in line with Public Sector Equality Duties. This was done according to internal procedural
requirements for ensuring that equalities considerations inform decisions taken by
ministers.</p><p> </p><p>HM Treasury and HMRC are undertaking an evaluation that will
assess the delivery and impact of the CJRS. The Government intends to publish the
CJRS evaluation plan in December 2020 and an evaluation report by the end of 2021.</p>
