S3,E2 Dr Rafeef Ziadah - Working Palestine: COVID-19, labour and de-development in Palestine
Dr Rafeef Ziadah on Working Palestine: COVID-19, labour and de-development in Palestine. The lecture is part of the LSE ID Cutting Edge Issues in Development Thinking & Practice series.
This presentation explores the impact of the pandemic on workers across four key sectors of the Palestinian economy: health, education, agriculture, and construction. As with elsewhere around the world, Palestinian workers have experienced multiple challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic and its associated mitigation measures. In the occupied Palestinian territories however, it unfolded in the context of a captive, fragmented, and de-developed economy that has endured decades of Israeli military occupation.
