This article presents a framework to analyse the gendered impact of COVID-19 on workers in global value chains (GVCs) in the business process outsourcing, garment and electronics industries. Distinguishing between the health and lockdown effects of the pandemic, and between its supply- and demand-related impacts, the authors' gendered analysis focuses on multidimensional 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. Their findings suggest that the pandemic exposes and amplifies the existing vulnerabilities of women workers in GVCs.
本文提出了一个框架，用于分析新冠疫情对业务流程外包、服装和电子行业全球价值链（GVC）中工人的性别化影响。作者的性别化分析区分了疫情的健康影响和封锁影响，以及其与供应和需求相关的影响，重点关注福祉的多维度方面，将经济理解为涵盖生产和社会再生产领域，并审视产生性别不平等的社会规范和权力结构。他们的研究结果表明，疫情暴露并加剧了全球价值链中女工现有的脆弱性。
