Abstract

About the publication COVID-19 has become one of the most severe issues dominating discussions on the agendas of states globally, and across the African continent, since its emergence in 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic has regrettably brought into sharp focus the continued multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination faced by women and girls in Africa because of their intersecting identities. Yet, paradoxically, although African women are disproportionately affected by the crisis, they are largely invisible in the responses. Several African states and governments have taken different policy measures in response to the pandemic. These responses have taken different dimensions, including shutting down economies, imposition of lockdowns, coercive quarantine measures with police enforcement and criminal consequences for offenders violating these rules. Unfortunately, these responses have reinforced and amplified women's disproportionate disadvantage and gender inequalities in Africa. Against this backdrop, this book asks the intersectional question about women's experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa. Applying an intersectional human rights lens involves questioning how the intersecting identities that African women embody affect their experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Los RETOS COVID-19 surgieron a principios de la pandemia para ofrecer una información veraz y científica de lo que estaba sucediendo a nivel mundial en relación a la infección por el SARS-CoV 2 y sus consecuencias. Cuál podía ser su origen o su capacidad de contagio; qué clínica se asociaba a la enfermedad; su duración, sus consecuencias, la población diana; qué tratamientos había o se iban desarrollando; cuántos contagios y fallecimientos se producían a nivel mundial y, por supuesto en España, qué esperábamos de las vacunas y para cuándo las íbamos a poder utilizar, y así un largo número de cuestiones que, semanalmente el comité científico de la Fundación las publicaba en forma de artículos de opinión, noticia de ámbito general y de artículo científico para los más exigentes. La aventura duró hasta julio del 2021, cuando ya parecía que se iba a superar la pandemia y se estaba produciendo una cierta vuelta a la normalidad. Pensamos que era la hora de hacer una parada y recopilar gran parte de esa información (los artículos de opinión), en un libro, RETOS-COVID I9-I que sirviera de recordatorio del largo año pasado en un feroz confinamiento los primeros meses, para evolucionar a un estado de severas restricciones. Pero el verano nos volvió a traer una nueva onda de contagios con una nueva cepa, y decidimos reanudar la actividad en lo que ahora se plasma como RETOS COVID-19 II. Esta segunda etapa es diferente, ya que, a lo escrito los meses previos, se añaden los nuevos interrogantes y conceptos surgidos en los siguientes meses.

Abstract

Cibles privilégiées des politiques néolibérales, les institutions du travail (sécurité sociale, chômage, syndicats, …) apparaissent pourtant essentielles lorsqu’il s’agit d’éviter d’importantes crises économiques et sociales. La crise sanitaire déclenchée par le covid a été révélatrice de la puissance de ces institutions, ébranlant de fait les certitudes libérales qui gouvernent l’économie depuis plusieurs décennies. Face à l’austérité imposée aux dépenses de santé, c’est un système hospitalier affaibli qui a fait preuve de l’efficacité de son engagement dans la prise en charge des malades, contraignant le pouvoir à prêter une oreille attentive aux revendications des travailleurs et travailleuses de la santé. Alors que le droit du travail est remis en cause au nom d’une disparition du salariat prophétisée depuis les années 1990, la structure de l’emploi stable s’est révélée essentielle pour gérer la crise économique. Les syndicats ont joué un rôle crucial en négociant des protocoles sanitaires. Finalement face à la pandémie, ce sont bien les institutions du salariat qui ont évité que la crise sanitaire ne se double d’une grave crise économique et sociale. C’est ce que révèle cette enquête sur sept secteurs d’activité menée pendant la pandémie : elle démontre à quel point ces institutions du salariat – de la sécurité sociale au syndicalisme – se sont avérées indispensables pour protéger les travailleurs et permettre la continuité des activités économiques.

Abstract

Faire face à l'épidémie de covid-19 a conduit à des bouleversements de l'action publique et à bien des restrictions. Comment les citoyens ont-ils réagi et se sont-ils adaptés ? D'abord sur le plan politique, marqué par une régression démocratique et de nouvelles formes protestataires, mais aussi dans le monde du travail, à l'hôpital, dans la vie quotidienne. La crise a fragilisé, en effet, les démocraties sociale et politique, effacé la démocratie sanitaire, obligé à repenser la démocratie numérique. Ce sont sur tous ces aspects de la citoyenneté et l'affirmation de ce qui serait un biopouvoir que ce livre, associant politistes et juristes, interroge d'abord en France mais aussi en Allemagne, en Italie, au Japon.

Abstract

This study combines pre-COVID-19 household surveys with 2020 macro data to simulate changes in household economic welfare and poverty rates through job losses, labor income changes, and non-labor (remittance) income changes during 2020 in Brazil, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, South Africa, and Turkiye. It first presents an in-depth analysis of employment elasticities projections-a critical input in microsimulations-for 15 developing countries. In 11 of the 15 countries, employment estimates for 2020 based on elasticities were within 5 percent of the actual employment level, but in four countries, where the labor markets were more disrupted by the pandemic, the projections considerably underestimated job losses due to the crisis. The study then presents the simulation results for the five countries, which show declines in per capita household income or consumption across the distribution, a decline in the middle class, and increased poverty, but no other clear pattern of impacts across the different quintiles. Finally, data from Brazil indicate that the simulation underestimated the magnitude of the shock throughout the distribution, especially for the wealthy, because it underestimated declines in earnings.
