“…Women are prevented from entering the formal sector by cultural traditions, religious seclusion, and illiteracy, as well as a greater devotion to family obligations ( 65 , 66 ). The part of any economy that is neither taxed nor controlled by any kind of government is known as the informal economy (informal sector or gray economy) ( 67 ) which offers vital economic opportunities for the vulnerable like women who make up the majority of the informal sector ( 68 , 69 ). Home-based workers (homemade) and street vendors are two major occupations in this sector ( 70 ).…”

Coronavirus disease in 2019 emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in December 2019. After a month, it was declared a global threat to public health. The effects of the pandemic could be socio-economic, undermining the health system and risking livelihoods. Vulnerability to this infection has been associated with underlying comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, chronic respiratory diseases, cancer, and compromised immune systems. Co-morbidity has been common to the elderly, the disabled, and the homeless. In addition, more severe coronavirus disease outcomes have been reported in older males than females. Nonetheless, multiple variables are related to the concept of cultural gender that should be taken into account as women in more affected sectors are economically disadvantageous and over-represented. Similarly, although children are not the face of this pandemic, calamity has a profound effect on their welfare, especially for those living in poor and inconvenient situations. Moreover, the economic influence could be profound and universal when viewed through a migration lens as it is exacerbating xenophobic and discriminatory treatment. Protection measures to mitigate the outbreak of a pandemic, such as social distancing, may reduce social support for certain categories relied on for their day-to-day activities. The mental health of people would definitely be affected by the additional psychosocial burden of the pandemic, particularly in vulnerable groups. Integrated approaches are therefore mandatory to assist these groups and contain the pandemic.

“…However, the sector lacks stability, social welfare or representation, and public health guarantees. [40][41][42] Given the dearth of research findings addressing the psychological aspects of COVID-19 among women street vendors in Eastern Ethiopia, the present study was aimed to address the prevalence of depressive symptoms among street traditional coffee vendors in Harar town, Eastern Ethiopia.…”

Background:The COVID-19 crisis has already resulted in an economic and labor market shock and a rise of informal work sectors. Being an informal job, traditional coffee vending can predispose women to a myriad of mental disorders. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic and associated factors among street traditional coffee vendors in Harar town, Eastern Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was employed on 180 women engaged in street traditional coffee vending business in Harar town. Data were collected through a face-to-face interview using a Public Health Questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Binary logistic regression was executed to identify factors associated with depression at a cut-off point of P < 0.05. Results:The mean age of the study participants was 31.83 (±10) years. The majority of the participants were currently married (n = 77, 42.8%), attended primary education (n = 68, 37.8%), had a family member of four or more (n = 60, 33.3%), and had two years or less work experience (n = 123, 68.3%). Most of the study participants obtained COVID-19-related information from television (n = 125, 69.4%). The prevalence of depression was found to be 18.9%. Attending primary education (AOR: 0.34; 95% CI: 0.12, 0.98), attending secondary education or higher (AOR: 0.23; 95% CI: 0.07, 0.69), and having four or more family members (AOR: 2.81; 95% CI: 1.14, 6.92) were significantly associated with depression. Conclusion:One in five street traditional coffee vendors suffered from depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lower odds of being depressed were observed in those who attended a minimum of primary education. On the contrary, having a greater family size was associated with higher odds of being depressed. This finding will direct the government and other concerned bodies to be involved in the provision of psychological and material support for such informal workers during COVID-19.

“…Feminist iktisatçılar, anaakım iktisadın bu kabullerini rasyonalite temelinde reddederler. Onlar, sadece kıtlık koşulları altında seçim yapılmasından çok, kadınlar, erkekler ve çocukların daha gerçek dünya terimleri vasıtasıyla kavramsal temele oturtulduğu iktisadi perspektiften güçlü bir eleştirel çizgiyi takip ederler (Becchio, 2019).…”

“…Feminist iktisat, iktisatta eril (masculine) toplumsal cinsiyetçi yaklaşımıyla kadını ve deneyimlerini sınırlandıran anaakım görüş olan Neoklasik iktisat akımın ortaya koyduğu kabullere yönelik eleştirel bir tepkiyi temsil eder (Barker ve ark., 2021;Becchio, 2019;Himmelweit, 2018). Neoklasik iktisattan bir başka kopuş da karmaşıklık iktisadıdır.…”

Feminist iktisat, kendine özgü niteliğiyle ortaya çıkışından beri eleştirel karakteristiğiyle dinamik bir iktisat dalı olmuştur. Düşünülenin aksine kadını üstün tutan bir düşünce ekolü değildir. Feminist iktisadın amacı, cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin ortadan kaldırıldığı bir toplumda iktisadi konularla ilgili bilimsel faaliyetlerle uğraşılmasıdır. Diğer sosyal bilim disiplinleriyle yakın ilişkisine bağlı olarak dinamik ve kesintisiz bir gelişme göstermiştir. Bunun dışında, iktisadi hayatta kadının rolü ve sorunlarını analiz dışı bırakan tüm iktisadi paradigmalara karşıdır. Kısaca feminist iktisadın cinsiyetsiz olduğu söylenebilir.
