COVID-19 and Workers in the Informal Economy

Workplace Health Without Borders (WHWB) is presenting a webinar on   COVID-19 and Workers in the Informal Economy: Lessons from Latin America. Please join us for an exciting conversation on Wednesday, April 21 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Zoom.

Dra. Gerry Eijkemans, PAHO/WHO and Dr. Fabricio Augusto Menegon will speak at the next Webinar in our series:  Taking Stock; Moving Forward – Reflections on Occupational Health in the time of COVID.  This series explores what we have learned from the pandemic and how we can use this experience to work towards positive change in occupational and public health.

Dr. Menegon, Professor, Public Health Department, University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, has conducted epidemiological and occupational health research in Brazil among workers in the informal economy. He will share what this work reveals about how the informal workforce has been uniquely affected by the COVID-19 crisis, and how Brazil’s acclaimed public health system has attempted to cope. Aspects of Brazil’s experience are echoed in many other countries, making the lessons learned there highly worth listening to.
