doi:10.5771/9783957103895

Summary

How was labour hit by the pandemic in different contexts? What strategies were applied to cope with the labour and economic challenges faced by different countries? What are the similarities and differences of the impact of COVID-19 in the regions of the world for workers of various industries, considering the gender and racial aspects? This book brings valuable contributions of academics, researchers, and labour movement activists from all regions of the globe. The articles include ten studies on single countries and two cross-country analyses, thereby debate and respond to some of these questions and look at the consequences in the ground.
