The economic crisis triggered by the coronavirus pandemic is expected to lead to a loss in working hours equivalent to 195 million full-time jobs, more than the 2009 crash, according to the International Labour Organisation, a UN body. Full or partial lockdown measures are now affecting almost 2.7 billion workers, representing around 81 per cent of the world’s workforce. It estimates estimates that 1.25 billion workers, representing almost 38 per cent of the global workforce, are employed in sectors that are now facing a "severe decline in output and a high risk of workforce displacement," prompting it to describe the current situation as “the worst global crisis since World War II”. The report can be read or downloaded here.
