COVID-19大流行对受影响国家的每个部门都造成了影响，非正规部门也不例外。这项研究基于对孟加拉国1，867名非正规工人的原始数据的定量分析，以揭示疫情引发的经济危机对这一工人阶级的影响。该调查于2020年7月8日至8月13日在全国8个行政区划进行。分析指出，这些工人中约有90%在封锁期间面临收入和食品支出下降。这种影响在男性中更大，特别是在以城市为中心的受过教育的从事服务和销售的男性中。研究结果表明，非正规工人面临这样的危机，需要政策支持。
The COVID-19 pandemic put dents on every sector of the affected countries, and the informal sector was no exception. This study is based on the quantitative analyses of the primary data of 1,867 informal workers of Bangladesh to shed light on the impact of the pandemic-induced economic crisis on this working class. The survey was conducted between 8 July and 13 August 2020 across the eight administrative divisions of the country. Analysis points out that about ninety percent of these workers faced an income and food expenditure drop during the lockdown. The effect was higher in males, particularly among the urban-centric and educated males engaged in services and sales. The findings suggest that policy support is needed for the informal workers to face such a crisis.
