Front and Centre: Filipino Healthcare Workers and COVID

  • Summary

  • Filipino migrants make up a critical portion of Canada’s healthcare workforce, as nurses and care aides. They also have one of the lowest average employment incomes among groups designated as visible minorities. Conditions such as low wages and precarious migrant status were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We examine what that crisis revealed about labour in Canada’s healthcare system. Voices in this episode: Dolie Anne Bulalakaw, assisted living worker Valerie Damasco, assistant professor of sociology at Trent University. Ethel Tungohan, associate professor of politics at York University
