Abstract
As of January 2022, a total of 3,856
social protection and labor measures were planned or
implemented by 223 economies. This constitutes a net
increase of 523 measures, or 15.6 percent since the last
update in May 2021. While noteworthy, such increase is the
lowest among net additions observed over previous semesters.
In fact, the global pace of measures’ introduction over
January 2020-January 2022 has been slowing down. This report
focuses on the real-time review of country measures in terms
of social protection and job responses to Coronavirus (COVID-19).
