Project overview / objectives
This project focuses on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns on the livelihoods and health of poor workers, especially women, in the informal economy. It will do so using a mixed-methods longitudinal study that includes a large-scale survey of informal workers spanned over 10 cities across 8 countries, with a focus on four groups of informal workers that predominantly employ women: domestic workers, home-based workers, street vendors, and waste pickers.
