Women-headed households among most affected by Covid-19, says Mustapa

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): A study has revealed that low-income households were disproportionately affected by the Covid-19 crisis, with women-headed households and households headed by people with disabilities reporting the deepest and most negative impact.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department for Economic Affairs Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said the situation of these groups, however, has improved since the first survey of the study titled "Families on the Edge" was conducted in May 2020.
