From now on, the world will be divided into two phases: before Corona and after it.. No wonder that; Because this pandemic has left its mark on many behaviors and habits, and has established new trends that may become permanent.
A report by “Agence France Presse” monitored five basic changes in life around the world:
turbulent tourism
Two years of the Covid-19 epidemic has led to a downward spiral of uncertainty, and hopes that flights will be restarted and canceled.
Fairly acceptable standards during the two years, starting with wearing masks and having a health certificate recognized throughout Europe, allowed the resumption of a large part of flights, but the airlines incurred billions of dollars in losses.
The situation is not expected to return to normal before 2024 at best, on trains or planes.
And the air transport sector is the most affected: navigation, which decreased by two-thirds in 2020, did not reach the level it was in 2019, only at the end of 2021; Because of the closure of a large part of Asia, and until November, the United States.
Big increase in online sales
According to British consulting and data analysis firm Kantar, “The health crisis has had a huge impact on our purchases; between closings and closing restaurants, everyone started eating at home, which led to an increase in supermarket sales.”
This trend has continued, while maintaining remote work to an unprecedented degree before the pandemic. In Europe and the United States, consumers are accustomed to shopping less often, but with larger baskets. The proportion of online shopping has also increased during the health crisis, which prompted retailers to switch to e-commerce.
Remote work boom
The health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has caused disruptions in work habits and made remote work so widespread that even rich countries were able to adopt it more easily than other countries.
According to Gartner research projections, remote workers will represent 32 percent of the total number of employees worldwide by the end of 2021, up 17 percent from 2019.
Will this trend be permanent? According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, “most companies and individuals expect to resort to remote work more.”
Highly qualified workers are the most likely candidates for remote work in the future.
But this produced a different result in developed countries; During the crisis, some employees realized that their work was not one of their interests or that they were underpaid, and they quit to reorient themselves or find a better alternative.
In the United States, this phenomenon has been particularly strong, and has been described as the “Great Resignation”.
closed schools
For the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the global disruption to education caused by the pandemic is the worst education crisis the world has ever seen.
In the face of the pandemic, most countries closed their schools, institutes, and universities, but the consequences were dire. In low- and middle-income countries, the proportion of children affected by poor education has reached 70 percent, although it was 53 percent before the pandemic.
On the other hand, parts of Brazil, Pakistan, rural India, South Africa, and Mexico, among others, are experiencing significant losses in learning mathematics and reading, and the younger generation currently in school risks losing nearly $17 trillion in income; Because of the pandemic-related school closures, which is more than initially expected, the World Bank and United Nations agencies have warned.
Increasing hunger in the world
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) warned that the Covid-19 pandemic will have long-term effects on global food security, after it led in 2020 to an increase in the number of people facing the risk of hunger.
The increase in world hunger threatens more than 18 percent last year, the largest increase in one year, and the largest in at least 15 years, more than ever, and challenges the goal set by the United Nations of eradicating poverty in 2030.
The pandemic has thrown 20 million people into extreme poverty during 2021, according to the latest report of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
It has also plunged many health systems into chaos, and has had a detrimental effect on the fight against other pests such as HIV, tuberculosis and malaria. This year, 23 million children were unable to receive basic vaccinations.
