In Mozambique, the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown at least 39,500 workers out of their jobs, according to Labour and Social Security Minister Margarida Talapa.
Speaking on Thursday in the northern city of Nampula, Talapa said these redundancies resulted from the closure, suspension, or reduction of labour in 1,150 enterprises across the country. This blow is to employment across the entire economy, but Talapa mentioned, in particular, the hotel industry, trade, transport, agriculture, construction, mining, timber, and services.
