I want to understand what livelihood means, and how its relation to COVID 19, the Study population I want to know about is Readymade garments workers or people residing in informal settlements.
Firstly I want to know what livelihood means and second of all to find its relationship to COVID 19 would I be able to find out through a qualitative or quantitative or mixed-method study?
Please suggest me any text books if there is any.
Livelihood for RMG sector: It usually affects the poor garment workers most. For last 4-5 months most of the garment industry of Dhaka and adjacent industrial district which cost their work and hamper their daily way and means of living. This empty handedness means it will cost their treatment procedures if they get infected with Covid-19. Same hardship can imply for other working sectors also.

Yours sincerely, Bulcsu Szekely
Livelihood for a layman is the means through which one lives life. It is the work that feeds you , your family and let you live your life.
In the context of Covid-19 and lock down, I shall be giving here one example how these are interwoven with each other affecting the worst.
Working class community - the domestic workers who earn money, feed their children only when they step out of their house to work. When they are forced to stay back home,without work, means no money and no food for their children.
This lock down forced them to stay within four walls of their house, the hunger for food has led them to face the worst of life.
There are innumerable instances ... how both life and livelihood have been severely affected by covid-19 and lockdown.
Livelihood for RMG sector: It usually affects the poor garment workers most. For last 4-5 months most of the garment industry of Dhaka and adjacent industrial district which cost their work and hamper their daily way and means of living. This empty handedness means it will cost their treatment procedures if they get infected with Covid-19. Same hardship can imply for other working sectors also.
