Food Insecurity Remains a Serious Challenge During COVID-19

Food Insecurity Remains a Serious Challenge During COVID-19 Federal government needs a social innovation strategy for long-lasting solutions. By Nancy Neamtan The numbers are devastating. Almost one in seven Canadians (14.6 per cent) reported they live in a household where they’ve experienced food insecurity over the past 30 days, according to the Statistics Canada survey conducted May 4-May 10, 2020, during the first wave of the pandemic. Those living in households with children were more likely to be worried about food running out before there was money to buy more. Affordable and easy access to healthy food is not a new challenge for Canada. It only took a global pandemic to shine a spotlight on the millions of Canadians who lack access to quality, affordable food.

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce She-covery Project revealed that women ages 25 to 54 lost more than twice as many jobs as men in Ontario in March 2020. According to the project’s analysis, the economy gradually reopened between April and August 2020, with employment gains in Ontario at 200,200 for men but just 131,700 for women. Racialized women more specifically, Black and Indigenous women those living in rural communities or with disabilities, and single women are bearing the brunt of the pandemic’s economic impact.

(John Rennison/Hamilton Spectator) Long before the global pandemic reached Canada, the care of our most vulnerable citizens had challenged many governments, communities, and families. “Care work” was “women’s work,” and therefore underpaid and undervalued. That often meant difficulty retaining staff and inadequate quality of care, particularly in for-profit settings.
