BANGKOK -- The COVID-19 pandemic is inflicting a "triple shock" on young people globally, particularly women, and is having a harsh impact on Asia's job market, according to new research by the International Labour Organization.
In its latest analysis on the effect of the pandemic on the global labor market, the ILO said more than one-in-six people aged 18-29 had stopped working since the onset of the pandemic, while those who remain employed had seen their working hours cut by 23%.
