ABSTRACT

In this Voices article, we use emerging evidence to reflect on the consequences of Covid-19 for various aspects of workers' wellbeing. This brief review emphasises how COVID-19 exacerbates existing, well-understood inequalities, along the intersections of community, work, and family. Workers on the periphery of the labour market, including non-standard workers and the self-employed, but also women and low-paid workers, are experiencing significant losses in relation to work, working hours and/or wages. Even once the pandemic is contained, its impact will continue to be felt by many communities, workers, and families for months and years to come.

摘要

在这篇“声音”文章中，我们使用了新出现的证据来反思Covid-19对工人福利各个方面的影响。这篇简短的评论强调了COVID-19如何在社区，工作和家庭的交汇点上加剧现有的，易于理解的不平等。劳动力市场外围的工人，包括非标准工人和个体经营者，以及妇女和低薪工人，在工作，工作时间和/或工资方面遭受了重大损失。即使大流​​行得到遏制，在未来数月乃至数年的时间里，许多社区，工人和家庭仍将继续感受到其影响。
