Abstract

During the COVID‐19 pandemic, key workers left the safety of their homes to produce, distribute and sell food, clean to minimize the spread of the pandemic, ensure public safety, transport essential goods and workers to their jobs, and care for and heal the sick. The pandemic made evident the extent to which societies need key workers – in both good times and bad – but also how undervalued most key jobs are, raising concerns about the sustainability of these essential activities. This chapters introduces the concept of key workers and provides basic demographic information on their composition.
谁是关键员工?
在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,关键工作人员离开安全的家园,生产、分发和销售食品,进行清洁以尽量减少大流行的传播,确保公共安全,运输必需品和工人到他们的工作岗位,以及照顾和治疗病人。这次大流行清楚地表明,社会在多大程度上需要关键工人——无论在顺时还是逆境中——但也清楚地表明,大多数关键工作的价值被低估了,这引起了人们对这些基本活动的可持续性的担忧。本章介绍了重点工作人员的概念,并提供了其构成的基本人口统计信息。
