It is not possible to answer directly the question as data on the number of people furloughed whose jobs have been supported by the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) is not available. However, data is available for the number of employments furloughed with the support of the CJRS (a person may have multiple employments). Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) published statistics about the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme on 18 September 2020 which can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/coronavirus-job-retention-scheme-statistics-september-2020.

These statistics are the latest available and provide preliminary figures for numbers of jobs furloughed and supported by the CJRS as at 31 July 2020. The release includes figures for the number of jobs furloughed by gender of the employee; the production of which depends on the matching of employment level CJRS data to other HMRC data. For records where this has been possible, the release reports that there were 4.40 million jobs furloughed where the gender of the employee was known. In the case of 2.26 million of these furloughed jobs, the furloughed employee was female.

These figures are preliminary values and based on claims received to 31 August. They are subject to revision as more claims are made in respect of staff furloughed on 31 July.

Figures for the number of jobs furloughed by local authority area and the gender of the employee will be included in the October release of HMRC’s CJRS statistics.
