Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:A limitation of the current study is that we were not able to ask farmworkers about all the potential effects of this pandemic. For example, we did not ask about what preparations were made to care for minor children and what pressure this imposed on the families. We know that 75% of the households had children under 18 years and 37% had children 5 years old or younger (some may not have been the respondent’s children). Very few schools and childcare facilities were open during the pandemic and only 8% of the children were in school or childcare. During the pandemic, parents had the additional responsibility for facilitating the education of their school-age children, for which many of the farmworkers in our study may not have had the proper educational, technological, or language skills. Affordable childcare is difficult to find in the best of times for these farmworker families.29 Anecdotal stories from the Salinas Valley community suggest that women were more likely to leave their jobs to provide the needed childcare and educational support for their children, resulting in even greater economic hardship, especially for single parents, but also in greater emotional burden for women. Another limitation of this study was that the results may not be generalizable to farmworkers across California, the United States, or in other countries. Our study was not a random sample of the farmworker population, and the National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS) of the Department of Labo...
