Sekda Sherman Harap IPSE Bisa Menuntaskan Kemiskinan Ekstrim di Boalemo #HimpunID

HIMPUN.ID – Sekretaris Daerah (Sekda) Sherman Moridu berharap kepada Ikatan Pengurus Sarjana Ekonomi (IPSE) Provinsi Gorontalo, bisa menuntaskan kemiskinan ekstrim di Boalemo.

From a respondent (and seemingly despondent) pool of 1,400 freelancers surveyed:

¾ have lost income during lockdown,

and of those, the drop has been substantial, on average 76%;

69% of freelance businesses now have serious cashflow problems;

only 9% (1 in 11) have been able to access support from the 'all encompassing' SEISS,

and of the 91% that haven't, 73% confirmed that their limited company trading structure was the barrier;

stress levels have risen 80% across the pool since COVID-19 reached Blighty.

There are also those whose incomes were over the threshold before the crisis, but who now find themselves with no income at all. We urge the government to do more for these groups, many of whom still have no sign of work coming in.” ~ Andy Chamberlain, IPSE’s director of policy.
