Stories of the Pandemic : Covid-19 and job loss in Ireland, a TASC social listening project

Abstract

This collection of stories reveals the multiple layers of uncertainty people are facing at the moment due to the COVID-19 public health emergency - and their own reflections on the challenges that may lie ahead. This first, specific collection looks at the experiences of workers and job loss. *Note that the names and some details of these stories have been changed to ensure anonymity*. These first 10 stories were collected via phone interviews over a two week period from the 3 April to the 16 April 2020. This project is on-going, and we are looking for more individuals affected by Covid-19 to share their experiences with us. If you would like to share your story, do not hesitate to get in touch with the TASC administrator John White at contact@tasc.ie
