The extra 10.9m Nigerians projected to be impoverished by COVID-19 will differ in important ways (more southern, urban and service sector workers) from those currently poor.

New estimates of COVID-19 impact on global poverty, using new GEP #WBGEP2021. We estimate 119-124 million additional extreme poor in 2020, with 60% from South Asia. Broadly in line with earlier estimates using June & October vintages of growth rates.

This paper (from one of my favorite economists, I confess) is not headline-grabbing thanks to/because of its neutral language, but it finds that 40% of US economic growth in the last half-century is due to reduction in barriers to women and Black people in the labor market.
