Description
Alice Murage and Julia Smith published a study in 2023 on how the pandemic hit recent immigrant women working in hotels and food service in Canada. These women faced layered insecurity at the meeting point of gender, race, migration, and labor. The team used in-depth interviews and a work precarity framework to sort their experiences. The question was how shaky work shaped wellbeing during the crisis.
The pandemic deepened prior marginalization in three forms: unstable hours and jobs, low income from work, and unsafe conditions at work. Work insecurity stood out as a driver of poor mental health. The authors urge policy steps in recovery that cut the inequities the crisis exposed and rebuilt.
