Abstract

ABSTRACT The pandemic has radically shifted how society is organised, with increased work from home, home-schooling, and intensification of online presence, all with specific (un)intended implications on paid and unpaid care work. These implications, like those of other crises, are gendered and manifest along sex, age, disability, ethnicity/race, migration status, religion, social class, and the intersections between these inequalities. While many studies have identified these unequal and negative impacts, and point to significant care-related inequalities, the specific contribution of this paper is a different one, namely to point towards inspiring practices as better stories of and in the care domain during the pandemic. The aim is to make these better stories visible and to think about these as ways forward to mitigate the unequal impacts of COVID-19 and its policy responses. Theoretically, the approach is based on ‘better stories’, as developed by Dina Georgis (2013, Better Story. Queer Affects from the Middle East, New York: State University). The paper uses both quantitative and qualitative data, gathered from the EU27, Iceland, Serbia, Turkey, and the UK, within the EU H2020 project RESISTIRÉ.

为从疫情中实现性别平等和更公平的社会复苏提供更好的故事:从RESISTIRÉ项目吸取的经验教训

大流行从根本上改变了社会的组织方式，增加了在家工作、家庭教育和在线存在的强化，所有这些都对有偿和无偿护理工作产生了具体(非)预期的影响。与其他危机一样，这些影响具有性别特征，并表现为性别、年龄、残疾、民族/种族、移民身份、宗教、社会阶层以及这些不平等之间的交叉点。虽然许多研究已经确定了这些不平等和负面影响，并指出了与护理相关的重大不平等，但本文的具体贡献是不同的，即指出在大流行期间，作为护理领域的更好故事的鼓舞人心的做法。其目的是让人们看到这些更好的故事，并将其视为减轻COVID-19及其政策应对措施的不平等影响的前进方向。从理论上讲，这种方法是基于“更好的故事”，正如Dina Georgis(2013年，《更好的故事》)所发展的那样。《来自中东的酷儿影响》，纽约:州立大学)。本文使用了欧盟H2020项目RESISTIRÉ中从欧盟27国、冰岛、塞尔维亚、土耳其和英国收集的定量和定性数据。

期刊介绍： Since 1993, Gender & Development has aimed to promote, inspire, and support development policy and practice, which furthers the goal of equality between women and men. This journal has a readership in over 90 countries and uses clear accessible language. Each issue of Gender & Development focuses on a topic of key interest to all involved in promoting gender equality through development. An up-to-the minute overview of the topic is followed by a range of articles from researchers, policy makers, and practitioners. Insights from development initiatives across the world are shared and analysed, and lessons identified. Innovative theoretical concepts are explored by key academic writers, and the uses of these concepts for policy and practice are explored.
