The Coronavirus and its Impact Dominate India's Everyday Life

News briefs compiled by Suresh Jaura*

TORONTO | NEW DELHI (IDN) – A wide range of themes from informal workers to the multi-layered impact of Coronavirus spans this edition of briefs. For example, the loss of more than 120 million in April 2020 as a result of the lockdown, the absence of transparency in regard to COVID-19 infections, out-of-pocket health spenders, the role of faith and medical ethics, India's worst recession, and the invasion of locusts.

No jobs for migrant workers, ‘informal workers, circular migrants’

More than 120 million jobs have been lost in April 2020 due to the lockdown, and the unemployment rate for April 2020 was pegged at 23.5%, nearly thrice the level in March 2020. More than 4.4 million stranded people, many of them migrant workers, have returned home in special trains as India’s economic growth is expected to be in the “negative territory” this year, according to the Reserve Bank of India, writes Shreehari Paliath in India Spend on May 31.

Millions of migrant workers have had to walk across states and cities to reach their homes, showing that “policymakers ignore them”, says Ravi Srivastava, director of the Centre for Employment Studies at the Institute for Human Development. “They have few rights and entitlements and are treated as irritants or nowhere citizens.”

Crisis for the people, an opportunity for the Corporate-Government Nexus

Today, India has emerged as a new epicentre for the novel coronavirus in the Asia Pacific region. With 1,58,333 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and deaths of a total of 4,531 people after contracting the virus, it has already crossed China’s COVID-19 numbers, states Press Release issued by New Socialist Initiative (NSI) on India’s ‘war against COVID-19’, reported on May 29.

New Socialist Initiative (NSI) feels that the grim news of steadily rising infections and fatalities reveal before everyone a worrying pattern but the government either seems to be oblivious of the situation or has decided to shut its eyes. It is becoming increasingly clear that the Union government has used incomplete national-level data to justify arbitrary policy decisions, defend its record and underplay the extent of COVID-19 crisis.

Absence of transparency vis-a-vis data collection of COVID-19 infection levels could be said to be the tip of the iceberg of what has gone wrong with India’s ‘war against COVID-19’.

Out-Of-Pocket Healthcare Expenditure and Impoverishment in India

Indians are the sixth biggest out-of-pocket (OOP) health spenders in the low-middle income group of 50 nations. This high OOP health expenditure imposes an extreme financial burden on households.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), healthcare services, all over the world, aim to ensure that necessary services are accessible to people at affordable prices. But it seems different in low and middle-income countries including India, where government’s spending on healthcare is very little and healthcare financing is heavily relying upon out-of-pocket expenditure made by individuals, write Iffat Jahan Azhar Prof. Mohammad Akram in Counter Currents on May 29.

In India, healthcare services are provided by public as well as private sectors. However, the share of the private health sector is much more than the public sector in the overall utilization of health services in India due to lack of facilities provided in the public sector, low health expenditure by the government and highly developed private health care sector.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Covid-19 treatment, medical emergency, loss of income, and untimely death of the earning member, are among bigger concerns for the middle-class Indians than their kids’ future education.
• Thousands of poor city migrants whose livelihoods have collapsed due to India's coronavirus measures headed back to their villages
• For Indians who drive rickshaws or run food stalls, the economic shock of uch control measures has been huge, pushing them to leave for family homes where they typically do not pay rent and food is cheaper.
• The virus is underlining the difficult trade-offs countries must make when trying to contain the pandemic, with many fearing that India's poorest people will be severely hit.
