G²LM|LIC launches Special Call of Interests for Research on COVID-19 in Low-Income Countries

Deadline: 3 May 2020

The current COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a global crisis with short- and long-term implications for health, the economy, and social relations. The negative impacts of the crisis are expected to be more pronounced in developing countries. Therefore, there is an urgent need for policymakers in these countries to monitor the extent of the spread as well as ongoing and future implications. Against this background, Gender, Growth and Labour Markets in Low-Income Countries (G²LM|LIC) is launching a special call of interests for research on COVID-19 in low-income countries.
