| As more lockdowns get declared, livelihood distress is beginning to rise and economic activity is coming to a standstill. Once again, the heaviest burden of distress is falling on informal workers, especially migrant workers. The Stranded Workers Action Network (SWAN) has been in touch with the families/groups of about 150 migrant workers over the last 2 weeks. -81% of the workers who are either still stranded or are in their homes stated that work had stopped due to locally declared lockdowns/ restrictions. On average, workers have said that work had stopped for 19 days. - While 68% of workers said that they had received their full or partial wages for the previous month, only 18% had received any money from their employer since the work had stopped. -While some workers have returned to their native villages, others were unsure about whether they should go back or wait for work to resume. - 76% of the workers needed ration and/or cash support. | Download | ||
