International: $17 trillion: That’s how much the pandemic could take away from today’s kids (Includes audio)
NPR – December 27, 2021
17 trillion dollars. That’s how much the pandemic could cost today’s children in terms of lost earnings over a lifetime. The number comes from a new report by the United Nations and the World Bank. Starting in March 2020 schools closed in nearly every country, for 1.6 billion children. Nearly 2 years later, interruptions continue here in the U.S. and part-time or remote learning is still going on in places from India to Brazil.
