| contents | Gender and Covid-19: workers in global value chains Sheba Tejani Sakiko Fukuda-Parr This paper presents a framework to analyse the gendered impact of Covid-19 on workers in global value chains using the business process outsourcing, garments and electronics industries. We analytically distinguish between the health and lockdown effects of the pandemic, and the supply and demand-related impacts of the latter. Our gendered analysis of these pathways focuses on multi-dimensional aspects of well-being, understands the economy as encompassing production and social reproduction spheres, and examines the social norms and structures of power that produce gender inequalities. We find that the pandemic exposes and amplifies the existing vulnerabilities of women workers in GVCs. publication.journalArticle |
