UN: Coronavirus May Poverty About 60 Million People

The report published by the United Nations (UN) reported that the coronavirus outbreak could impoverish 40 to 60 million people. Prepared in partnership with the United Nations (UN) and The Committee for the Coordination of Statistical Activities (CCSA), “How Coronavirus Changes the World? The report, entitled 'Statistical Perspective', examines the effects of the coronavirus epidemic on economic and social life. Under the heading of the coronavirus outbreak on global trade, global trade is said to have fallen by 3 percent in the first 3 months of the year compared to last year. Also, the pace of trade, which has slowed down due to commercial tensions, is expected to slow down due to the epidemic. Reporting that the aviation sector has experienced an unprecedented crisis so far, the report says that global employment will also be a major loss. It is reported that the total working hours may decrease by 10.5 percent due to the epidemic, and this number corresponds to 305 million full-time employees. It is reported that the global crisis can push 40 to 60 million people to lower poverty levels. It is estimated that the region that will be most affected by this impoverishment crisis will be Sub-Saharan Africa.
