 -Covid life for people in the pandemic
in Romania

 The pandemic has been a real stress for Romania since 2019. The pandemic has hit Romania’s rural areas
the hardest. In Romania , one in ten children do not have enough food and end up going to bed straving. A
study reveals that 60 percent of the parents in the country side did not work during the pandemic and almost
half of them are unable to provide food, medicine or hygiene products for themselves or their kids. About
40% of the people that live in Romania’s rural areas never attended online classesas more than half of them
do not own a digital device.

the COVID-19 pandemic, has had so far on the Romanian labor force market. In this context, given the lack
of information and information regarding this pandemic and its effects, the administration of a questionnaire
among the population was considered to identify the research results.

 The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented
challenge to public health, food systems and the world of work. The economic and social disruption caused

by the pandemic is devastating: tens of millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty, while
the number of undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase by up to 132
million by the end of the year.
 Millions of enterprises face an existential threat. Nearly half of the world’s 3.3 billion global workforce are
at risk of losing their livelihoods. Informal economy workers are particularly vulnerable because the
majority lack social protection and access to quality health care and have lost access to productive assets.
Without the means to earn an income during lockdowns, many are unable to feed themselves and their
families. For most, no income means no food, or, at best, less food and less nutritious food.
