Highlights
X The proportion of workers living in countries with recommended or required workplace closures has decreased from 81 to 68 per cent over the last two weeks, mainly driven by the lifting of workplace closures in China
X According to the ILO nowcasting model, global working hours declined in the first quarter of 2020 by an estimated 4.5 per cent, compared to the pre-crisis situation
X Global working hours in the second quarter are expected to be 10.5 per cent lower than in the last pre-crisis quarter. This is equivalent to 305 million full-time jobs, which represents a significant deterioration on ILO’s previous estimate of 195 million for the second quarter
Summary
X The proportion of workers living in countries with recommended or required workplace closures has decreased from 81 to 68 per cent over the last two weeks, mainly driven by the lifting of workplace closures in China. X According to the ILO nowcasting model, global working hours declined in the first quarter of 2020 by an estimated 4.5 per cent (equivalent to approximately 130 million full-time jobs, assuming a 48-hour working week), compared to the pre-crisis situation (fourth quarter of 2019). X Global working hours in the second quarter are expected to be 10.5 per cent lower than in the last pre-crisis quarter This is equivalent to 305 million full-time jobs, which represents a significant deterioration on ILO’s previous estimate of 195 million for the second quarter. This has been driven mainly by prolongation and extension of containment measures. Lower-middle-income countries are expected to register the highest rate of hours lost, at 12.5 per cent, but the impact is comparable across countries with different levels of income
