As COVID-19 took hold across local and international borders in
2020 and 2021, over 1.6 billion informal workers were estimated to
have been adversely impacted by mobility restrictions and other
'lockdown' measures to tackle the coronavirus crisis. In the Global
South, the pandemic has severely affected the sprawling megacities
in Southeast and South Asia that have been driving urbanisation,
and where there is a very high concentration of informal workers.
This volume examines how informal workers were affected by the
responses to the pandemic in five Asian megacities: Dhaka
(Bangladesh), Hyderabad (India), Karachi (Pakistan), Jakarta
(Indonesia), and Manila (Philippines). Gathering voices and
experiences from across these subregions, this book engages with
issues surrounding state measures to manage the COVID-19 pandemic.
The chapters present the gaps and lessons learned in addressing the
needs of informal workers. They also shed light on grassroots
solidarity initiatives, civic practices, and social networks that
have cushioned the devastating effects of the crisis. The book ends
with a discussion on the implications of identified state measures
and citizen-led responses for (post) pandemic planning and urban
governance in Asian cities in an age of recovery.
