Abstract

From the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the International Labour Office (ILO) projected that 1.6 billion of the 2 billion workers in the informal economy would be among the most severely affected. Social protection systems designed for labour markets characterized by formal employment struggled to provide relief and support to these workers as the global pandemic took hold. It is against this backdrop that WIEGO (Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing) - a research, advocacy and policy network aimed at improving the livelihoods of workers in the informal economy - deepened its engagement in global social protection policy debates.

大流行病、非正式行为和妇女工作:重新确定WIEGO的社会保护优先事项

期刊介绍： Global Social Policy is a fully peer-reviewed journal that advances the understanding of the impact of globalisation processes upon social policy and social development on the one hand, and the impact of social policy upon globalisation processes on the other hand. The journal analyses the contributions of a range of national and international actors, both governmental and non-governmental, to global social policy and social development discourse and practice. Global Social Policy publishes scholarly policy-oriented articles and reports that focus on aspects of social policy and social and human development as broadly defined in the context of globalisation be it in contemporary or historical contexts.
