“…3,4 The current study is among the first to uniquely emphasize areas in which families with FA may have struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as areas FA providers may provide support to families of children with FA in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, caregivers of youth with FA in the current study had greater increases in unemployment compared with a general sample of caregivers (25% vs. 14%-22%) [10][11][12] and greater loss of income (41% vs. 33%) 13 compared with a general sample of adults in the United States. Our sample of caregivers reported similar levels of loss of childcare, with approximately half of the caregivers endorsing childcare loss, 10 and similar changes in access to their child's healthcare provider (27.3% vs. 26.4%).…”

“…Differential impacts of other co‐occurring contextual factors on the labor market behaviors of caregivers and childless adults might also be cause for concern. Here, for example, disruptions to in‐person school and childcare services may disproportionately constrain work for caregivers relative to childless adults (Collins et al., 2021; Garrison et al., 2022). While we cannot fully account for such possibilities, we note that they will likely bias our estimates toward a decrease in employment among caregivers, thereby potentially overstating the employment disincentive of the expanded CTC.…”

In this paper, we estimate the impact on employment of the 2021 Child Tax Credit (CTC) expansion, which increased the size of the benefit, made it fully refundable, and allowed for monthly receipt. We harness exogenous variation in monthly CTC eligibility by comparing employment among caregivers to that of childless workers before and after monthly payments commenced on July 15, 2021, using event study and difference‐in‐differences frameworks. Our preferred estimates suggest that monthly CTC payments were, at most, associated with a relatively small decline in employment among caregivers. Our primary difference‐in‐differences estimates indicate a statistically nonsignificant decline in employment of approximately 344,000 to 495,000 caregivers relative to childless adults. Our treatment intensity estimates suggest an increase in employment among caregivers with two or more children relative to those with one child. Our findings contribute to the cost‐benefit calculus of the current debate over whether to establish a permanent fully refundable monthly CTC.

“…Nene et al [17] underscore the unwavering belief among breadwinners in the accessibility and adequacy of social aid, drawing support from friends, family, and coworkers. Adding intricacy to financial planning, Garrison et al [18] identify variations in savings utilization tied to factors such as employment status and income during the pandemic. Notwithstanding the challenges, the adept navigation of financial resources emerges as a pivotal element within the spectrum of adaptive resilience.…”

COVID-19 hit the world economy hard, and one of the setbacks during the pandemic was the displacement of workers due to lockdowns to avoid the virus. However, three years have passed, and much of the Filipino workforce has been left displaced, disrupting the lives of many, resulting from temporary layoffs to permanent unemployment. Thus, this study focused on the lived experiences of displaced workers during the pandemic, how they managed their difficulties, and the lessons they learned. The study used a phenomenological methodology to give meaning to the displaced workers' experiences as a single phenomenon. The 10 participants were chosen using the purposive sampling technique. One of the criteria for choosing the participants was that they were regular yet displaced employees during the pandemic. An in-depth interview was used in the study to collect the data. The researchers also ensured they followed ethical considerations. Through thematic analysis, the study revealed that while some had a chance to spend more time with their families due to the pandemic, the participants struggled mentally, emotionally, and financially. To recover from these struggles, the study would like to highlight the participants' coping mechanism, adaptive resilience. Lastly, these participants could reflect on their experiences by refining resilience and coping strategies to move forward in their lives as individuals. Based on the findings, the researchers recommend that future researchers use this study to explore innovative ways to support displaced workers and understand the intersection of economic changes with social factors.
