dc.description.abstractThe rapid spread of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) across the developed countries of the Global North and the low and middle-income countries of the Global South a􀆩ested to the fact that the this pandemic is one of the greatest levelers. It has led to a rise in death tolls, disrupted trade, mobility and livelihood of millions of workers across the world. It has exposed the strengths and weaknesses of health infrastructure as well as social security systems of both developed and developing countries. However, the pandemic has dispropor􀆟onately affected low and middle income countries, and even more so when it comes to the poor. As compared to developed countries, the mul􀆟-layered vulnerability and depriva􀆟on of poorer households, with the least financial capacity, without access to work, income and food has induced distress in developing countries like India (ILO 2020)i. As a result, the economic and labour market shocks have had a huge impact on people’s lives and livelihoods.en_US
