After only a few months, the global Coronavirus pandemic has affected workers worldwide in a profound way, leaving massive layoffs, pay cuts, and decline in working hours in its wake. Strict social distancing and lockdown measures around the world have halted daily activities, presenting a threat to the livelihoods of billions of workers who rely on their daily earnings in the informal sector. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) estimated that there are two billion informal workers worldwide, and that almost 1.6 billion informal workers, or nearly half of the global workforce or 3.3 billion, are significantly affected by pandemic measures. Developing countries, where 93 percent of the world’s informal jobs are, bear most of the brunt as governments scramble to sustain so many people through prolonged and extended containment measures.
