ABSTRACT

From the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the International Labour Office (ILO) projected that 1.6 billion of the 2 billion workers in the informal economy would be among the most severely affected. Social protection systems designed for labour markets characterized by formal employment struggled to provide relief and support to these workers as the global pandemic took hold. It is against this backdrop that WIEGO (Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing) - a research, advocacy and policy network aimed at improving the livelihoods of workers in the informal economy - deepened its engagement in global social protection policy debates.

ABSTRACT

This article presents the findings of a study in 11 cities across five geographic regions on the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on different groups of informal workers and their households. Four domains of impact are detailed: impact on work and income, food and hunger, care and other household responsibilities and on the coping strategies of informal workers households. The article also compares the role of government and of organizations of informal workers in providing relief and other support to informal workers and considers worker demands for a better deal for informal workers going forward.
