The implications of today’s multiple and interlinked crises for the world of work have exposed the weaknesses and limitations of the prevailing economic systems and have highlighted entrenched inequality – factors that are having a complex impact on the well-being of workers and households as well as resilience of SMEs. In this context, the responses to the impact of multiple “interlinked crises” on the world of work, have varied across countries and regions, and also sectors.
