COVID-19 has caused the worst global recession since WWII.
COVID-19 could wipe out 195 million jobs worldwide.
COVID-19 could push 150 million people into extreme poverty – with women and people of color disproportionately affected.
Technological adoption and innovation have accelerated since March, and automation is perhaps now a bigger threat than it has ever been to low- and middle-income workers.
