BBC World Service - Business Weekly, Reflecting on a year of the pandemicSearch BBC

How has a year of the pandemic affected jobs and mental health around the world?

Next week marks the first anniversary of the World Health Organisation officially labelling Covid-19 a pandemic. In the year since that announcement was made over two and a half million people have died from the disease. Global unemployment rose by 33 million, social gatherings have been largely forbidden and millions of children have had their education disrupted. On this episode of Business Weekly we’ll be looking at the cost of the coronavirus on our jobs, lives and wellbeing. We’ll hear from women forced out of the workforce, young people who had to grow up in lockdown and health workers who battled to save lives at the expense of their own mental wellbeing.

Business Weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Marie Keyworth.
