GCRF_NF154: Socio-economic and health impact of Covid-19 on international female migrants and their left-behind families in Indonesia

理由：大约有130万来自印度尼西亚的女性在国外工作，主要是在中东和东南亚，在私人住宅里当女佣和护理员。他们把家人留在印度尼西亚。居住在印度尼西亚的丈夫会照顾他们的孩子。外来务工妇女寄钱养家糊口。移徙妇女由于性别、经济状况差、工作地位、国籍等原因，一般容易受到雇主和接受国的忽视。目前还没有关于新冠肺炎对农民工获得医疗保健、失业、减薪、工资延迟、返乡问题、留守家庭福利等方面影响的研究。印尼政府迫切需要有关新冠肺炎影响的可靠数据，以便及时采取行动。项目目标：研究新冠肺炎对印尼国际女性移民及其家庭的社会经济和健康影响，并向印尼政府提出政策建议，将负面影响降至最低。需要证据：通过家庭调查收集新冠肺炎对移民和家庭的健康、经济和社会福利影响的数据，访谈和在线调查。最终输出：给印度尼西亚政府的快速和最后的政策建议文件。这项研究的好处是什么？印度尼西亚政府在其新冠肺炎的政策/方案中采纳了快速反应建议。使移徙妇女能够在需要时获得新冠肺炎检测和治疗，为最需要帮助的人提供经济支持，便利旅行回国，为移徙者和家庭提供社会支持。
