Due to the coronavirus pandemic, more than 100 million people left without jobs have found themselves on the brink of poverty, said Guy Ryder, the Director-General of the International Labour Organization.
The study results showed that more than 108 million people in the world are considered poor or extremely poor, which means that their daily subsistence level does not exceed $ 3.20.
In 2020, compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, 8.8% of jobs in the world simply disappeared, accounting for 255 million jobs.
Although the epidemiological situation in the world has improved, we are lack 100 million jobs.
The number of employed youth decreased by 8.7% last year. And in the elderly - by 3.7%.
The economic crisis has also disproportionately affected women. Studies have shown that more women than men lost their jobs during the pandemic.
The crisis caused by the pandemic in the labor market is still far from over. Global employment will recover faster in the second half of 2021.
But if the epidemiological situation in the world does not improve, by 2022, unemployment will reach 205 million.
