Abstract

This article seeks to unpack the effects the COVID-19 pandemic has had on Women in Informal Cross Border Trade (WICBT) in Zimbabwe while acknowledging the ripple effects on apparent disparate unrelated norms and realities. The research methodology utilised in this treatise unpacks the far-reaching impact of COVID-19 by providing a basis for the formulation of future theories on the interaction of COVID-19, WICBT and society in Zimbabwe as well as provide recommendations to remedy COVID-19’s ill effects. The systematic review of secondary data sources (journals, policy reports, humanitarian reports as well as newspaper articles and online media reports) formed the main basis for the positions articulated in this article. Broadly speaking, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected every facet of life including (formal and informal) trade. With a largely disputed unemployment rate, it is largely accepted that the informal sector has sheltered a significant proportion of Zimbabwe’s employable population. This demographic, traditionally dominated by WICBT, has increased exponentially as a result of COVID-19.
2019冠状病毒病对津巴布韦非正规跨境贸易妇女的影响
本文试图揭示2019冠状病毒病大流行对津巴布韦从事非正规跨境贸易的妇女的影响,同时承认对明显不同的不相关规范和现实的连锁反应。本文采用的研究方法揭示了COVID-19的深远影响,为未来制定COVID-19、WICBT和津巴布韦社会相互作用的理论提供了基础,并为纠正COVID-19的不良影响提供了建议。对二手数据来源(期刊、政策报告、人道主义报告以及报纸文章和网络媒体报道)的系统审查构成了本文阐述立场的主要基础。总的来说,2019冠状病毒病大流行影响了生活的方方面面,包括(正式和非正式)贸易。尽管失业率存在很大争议,但人们普遍认为,非正规部门庇护了津巴布韦很大一部分可就业人口。这一人口传统上以WICBT为主导,但由于COVID-19而呈指数级增长。
