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130万印度尼西亚妇女在国外工作，主要在中东和东南亚，在私人住宅中担任女佣和护工。他们把家人留在印尼。住在印度尼西亚的丈夫照顾他们的孩子。移民妻子会寄钱给家庭赡养费。移徙妇女由于其性别、贫穷的经济状况、工作地位和国籍，一般容易受到雇主和接受国的忽视。没有关于Covid-19对移民获得医疗保健的影响的研究；失业;削减工资;延迟工资;关于回家的问题；留守家庭福利。政府迫切需要有关Covid-19影响的可靠数据，以便及时采取行动。项目目标：研究2019冠状病毒病对印尼国际女性移民及其家人的社会经济和健康影响，并向印尼政府提出政策建议，以尽量减少负面影响。所需证据：通过入户调查、访谈和在线调查收集Covid-19对移民及其家庭健康、经济和社会福利影响的数据。最后产出：为印度尼西亚政府提供快速和最后的政策建议文件。这项研究的好处是什么？将印度尼西亚政府的快速反应建议纳入其Covid-19政策/规划。使移徙妇女能够在需要时获得Covid-19检测和治疗，为最需要的人提供经济支持，为返回家园提供便利，并为移徙者及其家庭提供社会支持。

Migrant women are generally vulnerable to neglect by employers and recipient countries because of their gender, poor economic situation, work status, nationality. There are no studies on the impact of Covid-19 on migrants' access to health care; job losses; wage cuts; delayed wages; issues around returning home; welfare of left behind family. Reliable data on the impact of Covid-19 are urgently needed for the government to take timely action.Project aim:Study socio-economic and health impact of Covid-19 on international female migrants and their families in Indonesia, and make policy recommendations to the Indonesian government to minimise negative consequences.Evidence needed:Gather data on the impact of Covid-19 on health, economic, and social welfare of migrants and family via household survey, interviews and online survey.Final output:Rapid and final policy recommendation papers for the Government of Indonesia.What are the benefits of this study?Adoption of rapid response recommendation by the Government of Indonesia in to their policy/programme for Covid-19.
