ILO schätzt 300M Jobs könnten durch das Virus verschwinden
May 5, 2020 -
Laut Berechnungen der Internationalen Arbeitsorganisation (ILO) der UN dürften weltweit die Arbeitsstunden im zweiten Quartal 2020 um 10,5 Prozent gegenüber der Zeit vor der Coronavirus Krise zurückgehen – das entspricht über 300 Millionen Vollzeit-Jobs.
The ILO described the figure as “significantly worse” than its previous estimate of a 6.7 percent drop in working hours around the world, equivalent to 195 million full-time jobs, assuming a 48-hour working week. This has been driven mainly by the prolongation and extension of lockdown measures, the ILO said.
The ILO also projects that 1.6 billion workers in the “informal economy,” including those working beyond the reach of government regulation, “stand in immediate danger of having their livelihoods destroyed.” That is nearly half the global workforce of 3.3 billion people.
