Good day,
We are pleased to share the sixth issue of our Bulletin on Social Protection Responses to COVID-19.
Women across the globe have found themselves at the frontline of COVID-19 responses and impacts. These risks are particularly acute for certain categories of informal workers who lack job, income and social security, including domestic workers, agricultural workers and small traders, among whom women are over-represented, as well as migrant workers and refugees. In this brief, we will analyse crisis responses to COVID-19 for informal workers regarding three aspects of the care burden: childcare, school feeding and income for older workers.
These are not policy recommendations, rather they are intended to be a tool to share initiatives and policies that are being implemented in different parts of the world, that might provide insights for movements in their advocacy efforts to expand social protection to informal workers in this period of crisis.
