“…Rather than unilateral measures, such as the decision by seven Indian states to suspend nearly all labour laws, tripartite consultations between governments, firms and labour unions are needed (Rathi and Chatterjee 2020). Social policies also matter; countries that already had social protection systems in place, such as China, Malaysia and the Republic of Korea, stand out for taking some of the most proactive steps -such as employment and sickness protection as well as cash and in-kind transfers -to protect vulnerable workers (Gentilini et al 2020; Electronics Watch 2020). 5…”

This article presents a framework to analyse the gendered impact of COVID‐19 on workers in global value chains (GVCs) in the business process outsourcing, garment and electronics industries. Distinguishing between the health and lockdown effects of the pandemic, and between its supply‐ and demand‐related impacts, the authors' gendered analysis focuses on multidimensional aspects of well‐being, understands the economy as encompassing production and social reproduction spheres, and examines the social norms and structures of power that produce gender inequalities. Their findings suggest that the pandemic exposes and amplifies the existing vulnerabilities of women workers in GVCs.

“…Un'analisi integrata dei sistemi internazionali contemporanei, ricavata da tre rapporti internazionali (ILO 2021;Gentilini et al 2022;Spasova et al 2022), consente di disegnare lo spettro delle politiche da ricomprendere in un sistema di PSdL (figura 1):…”

The working paper aims to analyze whether social protection systems for workers in certain countries, with economic indicators like the Italian context, have been extended after the pandemic phase. The purpose is to identify how and if some countries have used the extension of the welfare system during the emergency phase to focus on historical critical issues. Some epistemological explanations are necessary. The study contemplates the phenomenon of income absence unitarily, considering measures aimed at "liberating from the need" induced both by unemployment and poverty. The obscuring of boundaries between these traditional parts of the welfare systems is particularly induced by the phenomenon of in-work poverty. Indeed, in current labor markets, employment, unemployment, and poverty are not easily discernible events.

“…13 However, a host of evolving economic pressures could affect growth globally in 2023 and public budgets are likely to remain constrained due to continued support needed for COVID-related recovery packages. 14 But as the world begins to cautiously emerge from the worst of the pandemic, we also have an opportunity to build a green, climate resilient recovery that will put us on a more inclusive and sustainable development path. To stimulate the economy and mitigate the impact of COVID-19, governments are undertaking large-scale expansionary fiscal measures.…”

Southeast Asia is one of the world's most energy-intensive and climate vulnerable regions, with rapid urbanization and industrialization increasing its greenhouse gas emissions and a high exposure to extreme weather events. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a massive impact on the region's economic growth. Decisions taken by leaders today to revive economies will either entrench the region's dependence on fossil fuels or accelerate decarbonization efforts to achieve the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. This article recalls the imperative of a green, climate resilient recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic to put ASEAN economies on a sustainable and inclusive development path before discussing the chronic infrastructure investment gap and reviewing options to catalyze climate investment to address this gap and finance recovery efforts.
