Issue: Extensive time away excludes those with caring duties.

Example: Parents of young children can't work outside daycare hours.

Ways forward: plan early, prioritize nearby sites, schedule fieldwork within standard working hours, assign suitable tasks for those who cannot travel extensively.

Issue: Needs of neurodivergent fieldworkers are overlooked.

Example: ADHD medication required by a participant banned in destination country.

Ways forward: plan fieldwork well in advance & share plans with all participants, adjust conditions to support neurodiversity without requiring disclosure.

New document by the SCB Europe's DEIJ Committee summarizes key barriers to participation and practical, evidence-based actions and ways forward. See a couple of examples below.
