项目摘要

This research looks to investigate the labour market implications of, and government responses to, COVID-19. The first strand of research seeks to investigate individuals' experiences of homeworking during the pandemic, focusing on how this shift in work location alters individuals' conceptualisations of their identity. This research would take theoretical and methodological cues from Cultural Theory and Post-Structuralist Geography, involving thematic analysis of interview responses exploring the work/home dialectic. The second research strand looks to examine quantitatively experiences under, and the success of, the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS), a novel intervention in individuals' working lives. There will be a particular focus on inequalities in mental and financial wellbeing - both existing ones exacerbated by the scheme, and novel ones generated under it - and the spatial dimensions which underpin these. Third, drawing upon the multiple different responses undertaken internationally by various governments, the final research strand will evaluate through quantitative analysis, the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches (based on their ability to mitigate growing inequality and mental health deterioration). With automation-related mass unemployment being a common theme in predictions of the future of work, evaluation and synthesis of the best-practice responses during the pandemic become a vital policy tool.

本研究旨在调查新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 对劳动力市场的影响以及政府的应对措施。第一个研究旨在调查个人在大流行期间在家工作的经历，重点关注工作地点的转变如何改变个人对其身份的概念。这项研究将从文化理论和后结构主义地理学中汲取理论和方法论线索，涉及对探索工作/家庭辩证关系的访谈回答进行主题分析。第二个研究方向着眼于定量研究冠状病毒工作保留计划（CJRS）的经验和成功，这是一种对个人工作生活的新颖干预措施。将特别关注精神和财务福祉方面的不平等——既有因该计划而加剧的现有不平等，也有该计划下产生的新不平等——以及支撑这些不平等的空间维度。第三，借鉴各国政府在国际上采取的多种不同应对措施，最终的研究将通过定量分析评估不同方法的优缺点（基于其缓解日益严重的不平等和心理健康恶化的能力）。由于与自动化相关的大规模失业成为预测未来工作的一个常见主题，因此评估和综合大流行期间的最佳实践应对措施成为重要的政策工具。
