Covid, with the pandemic over 100 million workers reduced to poverty

Over 100 million workers have been reduced to poverty by the pandemic. Compared to 2019, 108 million more people are classified as poor or extremely poor. This is the data contained in the report of the ILO, the International Labor Organization, published today, entitled ‘Employment and social perspectives in the world. Trends 2021 ‘. And the recovery times will not be quick: if the pandemic does not worsen, the labor market should begin to recover only in the second half of the year, in addition to the fact that it will be an uneven recovery in the different regions.
