A new paper addresses a gap in the literature on understanding gendered predictors of the impacts of COVID-19 among small-scale cross-border traders.
The paper found heterogeneous effects in geographical location, skills and knowledge were reported among men cross-border traders. The paper identified that the effects of household structure and composition significantly influenced the impact of COVID-19 among women traders. Surprisingly, membership in trade associations was associated with high impact of COVID-19.
