The COVID-19 bug has knocked us further off-track to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There has been a severe shortfall in education leaving behind a big gap of knowledge within a scholars’ knowledge base. Students and other categories of learners will lack significant knowledge to execute different kinds of work. The economy has been shattered as unemployment gets to its peak faster than ever. The US alone lost 379,000 jobs in February 2021 while according to the UN foundation, more than 70 million people worldwide could fall back into poverty (partly due to unemployment) as a result of the pandemic.

The pandemic has led to the loss of the equivalent of 255 million full-time Jobs, about 4x the number lost during the global financial crisis that engulfed the world between 2007 and 2009 according to the SDGs Report 2021. Now machines will take away even more jobs, replacing about 85 million jobs by 2025 according to the World Economic Forum, resulting into decent jobs being replaced with gig-economy work.

The world’s renown physicians have warned that the naughty bug could still be here to stay despite vaccines that are doing wonders, social distancing will remain a core focus, meaning presence of fewer people at workplaces at a given time, consequently with the COVID-19 epidemic accelerating, businesses will continue cutting off majority of their employees and are most likely to resort to temporaries.
