项目摘要

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed unprecedented strains on formal and informal care work, worldwide. Paradoxically, the pandemic created new jobs and possibilities in care work, but the jobs remain physically and mentally strenuous, low paid, and often with fixed term, precarious contracts and high turnover rates. These jobs present significant health risks for workers, given the potential to contract and spread the virus. Our project will focus on employees performing vital COVID-19 related jobs: providing individual care to vulnerable clients in both organisational and home settings. We will examine how diverse people (in Finland, Canada, Scotland/UK and South Africa) who work/have worked in formal and informal care address challenges by collaboratively examining their ideas to ease risks and develop opportunities to deliver and receive care. Specifically, we will analyse how care workers in precarious positions (women, LGBTI2S people, and migrant status or minority ethnic people) are experiencing COVID-19 crises in their work, and how they see a post-pandemic future. Our research is based on the United Nations (UN) research recovery roadmap and this Call's focus on reducing inequalities and vulnerabilities, and building a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable society. We will apply both quantitative and innovative qualitative methods to investigate how care sector workers have experienced the pandemic and how they see their post-pandemic times at work. Research participants will explore their working lives during and after the pandemic. We will conduct a cross-cultural narrative analysis with an intersectionality approach using longitudinal participatory methods (photovoice and soundsourcing). This information will be supplemented with a systematic literature review and secondary data. In collaboration with stakeholders, we will develop policy recommendations and share good practices with institutions and services responsible for care workers. Our collaborative approach with all stakeholders will provide sustainable suggestions and policy recommendations that should have worldwide application.

COVID-19大流行对全球正式及非正式护理工作带来前所未有的压力。奇怪的是，大流行病在护理工作中创造了新的就业机会和可能性，但这些工作仍然是体力和精神上的繁重工作，工资低，而且往往有固定期限，合同不稳定，更替率高。这些工作对工人的健康构成重大风险，因为有可能感染和传播病毒。我们的项目将专注于从事重要COVID-19相关工作的员工：在组织和家庭环境中为弱势客户提供个人护理。我们将研究如何不同的人（在芬兰，加拿大，苏格兰/英国和南非）谁工作/曾在正式和非正式的护理工作，通过协作检查他们的想法，以减轻风险和发展机会，提供和接受护理解决的挑战。具体而言，我们将分析处于不稳定位置的护理工作者（女性，LGBTI 2S人群，移民身份或少数民族人群）如何在工作中经历COVID-19危机，以及他们如何看待疫情后的未来。我们的研究是基于联合国（UN）的研究恢复路线图和这一呼吁的重点是减少不平等和脆弱性，并建立一个弹性，包容性和可持续的社会。我们将采用定量和创新的定性方法，调查护理部门的工作人员如何经历大流行，以及他们如何看待大流行后的工作时间。研究参与者将探索他们在大流行期间和之后的工作生活。我们将使用纵向参与方法（photovoice和soundsourcing）进行跨文化叙事分析。该信息将通过系统性文献综述和次要数据进行补充。我们将与利益攸关方合作，制定政策建议，并与负责护理工作者的机构和服务部门分享良好做法。我们与所有利益攸关方的合作方法将提供可持续的建议和政策建议，这些建议应在世界范围内适用。
