Of these, an estimated 1.6 billion—80%—could see their livelihoods destroyed due to the lockdowns and related shelter-at-home restrictions in response to COVID-19 (ILO 2020). Since long before the COVID-19 virus hit, informal workers have been struggling for justice, equality and dignity as workers and as human beings in large part because they are widely stigmatized by economists and policy makers as illegal and non-productive, while most are trying to earn an honest living under a very harsh policy and regulatory environment. – Reproduced   aCOVID-19, Cities, Urban informal workers, Labour929588  aThe Indian Journal of Labour Economics  aCOVID-19 (DISEASE) - ECONOMIC ASPECTS  cAR  00102ddc40709392588aIIPAbIIPAd2021-09-28h63(1), Oct, 2020: p.41-46pAR125652r2021-09-28yAR
