The United Nations has said that the Covid-19 pandemic's impact on the world of work was four times worse than the 2008 economic crisis.
The UN's International Labour Organisation said the pandemic had had a “devastating” and even “cataclysmic” effect, as it sought to tackle an uneven recovery from the coronavirus crisis.
The crisis has pushed more than 100 million more workers into poverty, the ILO said in its annual World Employment and Social Outlook report.
It said working hours plummeted and access to good-quality jobs had evaporated.
