COVID-19 Impacts on Women’s Livelihoods and Well-being in the Yukon: Toward a Gendered Resilient and Inclusive Recovery
FY 2022-23 · 2022-11-23
Summary
This 10-month project will use an intersectional feminist lens and a GBA+ economic-impacts perspective to conduct a survey to understand the unique impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on low-income women, women with children, and young women; especially in terms of the disproportionate representation of these demographic groups in “essential work” sectors. This research project will collect information from approximately 200 women-identified respondents who meet the non-exhaustive criteria: people with dependents; people doing work deemed as essential; people who could not secure adequate childcare; people who sell or trade sex. The project will address financial impacts of COVID-19 on these demographic groups within the Yukon, especially relating to childcare and lack of paid work, as well as impacts on their overall wellbeing. The project outcome will be a final report which will include policy and programming recommendations across the Yukon.

Description (French)
Ce projet d’une durée de 10 mois suivra une approche féministe intersectionnelle et une perspective de retombées économiques ACS+ pour mener un sondage afin de comprendre l’effet unique de la pandémie de COVID-19 sur les femmes à faible revenu, les femmes ayant des enfants et les jeunes femmes, précisément du point de vue de la représentation disproportionnée de ces groupes démographiques dans les secteurs de « travail essentiel ». Ce projet de recherche recueillera de l’information auprès d’environ 200 répondantes identifiées comme des femmes qui répondent aux critères non exhaustifs : personnes ayant des personnes à charge; personnes effectuant un travail jugé essentiel; personnes qui n’ont pas pu bénéficier d’une garde d’enfants convenable; personnes qui vendent ou échangent des services sexuels. Le projet s’attaquera aux effets financiers de la COVID-19 sur ces groupes démographiques au Yukon, en particulier en ce qui concerne la garde d’enfants et le manque de travail rémunéré, et aux effets sur leur bien-être général. Le projet aboutira à un rapport final qui contiendra des recommandations en matière de politiques et de programmes dans l’ensemble du Yukon.
