Children who might have been in school are in danger of dropping out and falling behind forever – they don’t have the means for remote learning. With unemployment and underemployment, more children are being forced to work. One of the great ironies of this world is that we have both unemployment – and child labor. Because children are cheap labor with limited protections. Job loss and remote learning also mean more girls might be forced to drop out and either be trafficked or be forced into early marriages.
