- Abstract
- The COVID-19 pandemic has put the world on hold during 2020 and 2021. Beyond all macrodimensions, it is a global event that has changed the daily routines and lives of every human being on the planet, with multiple impacts for the future. Billions of people have been confined at different stages. Others, however, can not afford this luxury and continue to work in the health sector, in production, food supply, social work, transport, cleaning and at various other tasks which, although defined as ‘essential services’ in our societies, are not sufficiently recognized and valued. In turn, workers in the informal economy, those living from day to day or those who lost their jobs, have become concerned not only about a virus but also about rapid impoverishment and deterioration of living conditions in a context full of uncertainties.
