    The impact of COVID-19 on older persons in India 2020 in review Highlights • India reported its first COVID-19 case on 30 January 2020 and its first COVID-19 death on 13 March 2020.1 As on 08 December 2020 India has the second highest number of reported cases of COVID-19 in the world and the third highest number of deaths due to COVID-19 globally.2 However, in terms of per capita mortality rate India is only 78th globally with 9.43 deaths per 100,000 population.3 • The Government of India (GoI) announced a countrywide lockdown from 25 March – 31 May 2020, after which restrictions were eased in a phased manner.4 • As per estimates on 13 October 2020 53 per cent of the deaths have occurred in the age group of 60 and above,5 though they accounted for only 12 per cent of COVID-19 positive cases as per data released in September.6 • A nation-wide survey of older persons in June 2020 indicated that the pandemic has adversely impacted the livelihoods of roughly 65 per cent of the participants. • An independent survey conducted in April 2020 concluded that 51 per cent of older persons surveyed were reported to have been physically or mentally mistreated during the pandemic.7 • India’s real GDP growth rate is expected to decline from 4.2 per cent in 2019 to –10.3 per cent in 2020.8 Data released by the National Statistical Office indicates that India has technically entered a recession, with the GDP of India declining by 7.5 per cent in the July- September quarter (Q2),9 following 23.9 per cent in the April-June quarter (Q1).10 • It is estimated that 400 million workers from India’s informal sector (of which 11 million are expected to be older persons) are likely to be pushed into extreme poverty.11 12 • The COVID-19 lockdown has impacted the livelihoods of a large proportion of the country’s nearly 40 million internal migrants.13 A majority of these migrant workers are daily wage labourers, who were stranded after the lockdown and started fleeing from cities to their native places.

  • EUROPEAN REPORT on the Free Movement of Workers in Europe in 2012-2013

This has impacts in only nine Member States which are still applying restrictions.1 Equally, 2013 is an enlargement year with Croatia joining the EU on 1 July. Thirteen Member States are applying transitional restrictions on Croatian workers.2 Although there are substantial differences in unemployment rates between the Member States as a result of the economic situation, these unemployment rates do not appear to be a determining factor in the application of transitional restrictions on Croatian workers. For instance, Ireland and Portugal where there are relatively high unemployment levels have not applied restrictions. Although the interior ministries of four Member States (Austria, Germany, the Nether- lands and the UK) expressed concern about their social costs in respect of EU workers from other Member States in a letter to the Presidency, none of the ministries followed up these concerns with evidence of a problem, when so requested by the Commission.
