Post-Pandemic Austerity Shock worldwide – Reliefweb Report

Isabel Ortiz and Matthew Cummings of ReliefWeb estimate that 85 per cent of the world’s population will live in the grip of post-pandemic austerity measures by 2023 – and likely to continue until at least 2025, when 75 per cent of the global population (129 countries).  Currently, 143 countries – including 94 developing nations – are implementing policy measures that undermine the capacity of governments to provide education, healthcare, social protection and other public services.
