Abstract

During COVID-19, female informal workers living in urban informal settlements in Bangladesh have faced greater challenges in re-entering the labour market than their male counterparts. This paper presents the findings of a qualitative study, which has explored how the pre-existing socio-economic constraints around gender norms, gender roles, occupational sex-segregation, lack of education and skills, informality and restricted mobility have made the re-entry process extremely difficult for these workers during COVID-19 in Dhaka city. The paper also illustrates that these workers have adopted strategies catered for short-lasting crises to cope with the challenges arisen from their struggle to secure livelihoods. © 2023 Department of Social Work, National University of Singapore, Singapore.
2019冠状病毒病期间重新进入劳动力市场的社会经济制约因素以及生活在城市非正规住区的女性非正规工人的复原力
在2019冠状病毒病期间,生活在孟加拉国城市非正规住区的女性非正规工人在重新进入劳动力市场方面面临着比男性更大的挑战。本文介绍了一项定性研究的结果,该研究探讨了在2019冠状病毒病期间,围绕性别规范、性别角色、职业性别隔离、缺乏教育和技能、非正式性和流动性受限等先前存在的社会经济制约因素如何使达卡市这些工人的再就业过程变得极其困难。该报告还说明,这些工人采取了针对短期危机的策略,以应对他们为确保生计而进行的斗争所带来的挑战。©2023新加坡国立大学社会工作系,新加坡。
