IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE LABOUR MARKET IN KENYA
Abstract
The outbreak of the corona virus affected peoples’ way of life hugely across the globe. The resulting effects shocked even the most advanced companies. The effect of the virus has not only affected the health and well-being of people, but also their economic well-being. Globally, various governments introduced mitigating measures including lockdowns, restrictions on movements, curfews, social distancing, mask wearing and, finally, vaccination programmes. This study aimed to establish how COVID-19 affected the labour market in Kenya; how the pandemic affected workers differently; what new skills were required for workers to cope with the pandemic; and training programs that were initiated for workers during and after the pandemic. The study gathered information from a group of key stakeholders, totalling 20, both from the public and private sectors
