Challenges
Pushing informal workers into poverty
With a complete lockdown, the informal sector workers who belong to some of the marginalised communities — socially and economically — will have to go without wages pushing them further into poverty
Lack of access to healthcare for the poor
India ranks 145th among 195 countries in terms of quality and accessibility of healthcare , behind its neighbours like China, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bhutan. And in the current context, it is the poorest who are least likely to be able to access this healthcare and treatment
No Safe homes
There are over 4 million homeless in urban India who are at great risk of infection because of their living conditions. Physical distancing is advocated as a preventive measure but most of them have several family members living in one-room homes making them vulnerable to infection.
Little or no access to water
Washing hands with soap regularly is a luxury for over 70 million in urban India who live in informal settlements where they end up sharing resources and have community access to sanitation and drinking water facilities.
