One in two people have lower earnings due to the pandemic and people in lower income countries were affected the most, according to a global poll.
Women were hit particularly hard as they are over-represented in low-paid precarious sectors such as retail, tourism and food services.
More than half of people surveyed said they temporarily stopped working at their job or business – translating to about 1.7 billion adults globally.
