The outlook for the global labour market in the second half of 2020 is 'highly uncertain' and the forecast recovery will not be enough for employment to return to pre-pandemic levels this year, the International Labour Organization said on Tuesday.

In its latest report, the U.N. labour agency said that the fall in global working hours was “significantly worse than previously estimated” in the first half of the year, with the Americas the hardest-hit region. For the fourth quarter, the ILO estimated that 4.9% of working hours or 140 million jobs would be lost. Under a pessimistic scenario in a so-called second wave of the pandemic, this figure could rise to 11.9% or 340 million jobs, it said.
“The figures reflect the worsening conditions especially in developing countries. The region where we see the greatest of all is in the Americas,” he said.
