- description:
- Supply chain disruptions directly impact the HBWs, who are also forced to absorb the losses because of these disruptions. In context of this project, the pandemic led to immediate and sudden lockdowns across the world. As a consequence, all the orders by the international and domestic buyers were cancelled with immediate effect. This was further passed on to home-based workers and other informal worker who are at the lowest tier of the supply chain. Workers who had to suffer significant losses as the manufactured goods were not purchased and no compensation was offered. This led to significant loss of livelihood amongst the most vulnerable category of workers.
