Situação pré-coronavírus. Mais de quatro milhões desempregados em Angola.

Situação pré-coronavírus. Angola conta com mais de quatro milhões de desempregados.

 

Desde que o Estado angolano decretou o estado de emergência, hotéis fecharam as portas, centenas de pessoas perderam empregos, muitos jovens perderam entrevistas já agendadas, dezenas de pessoas morreram de fome, os crimes aumentaram e os restaurantes reduziram a produção porque não devem, por enquanto, ter clientes nos seus espaços.

Segundo uma nota do Instituto Nacional de Estatística, a que a Angop teve acesso em Março de 2020, a população desempregada com 15 ou mais anos, estimada em 4.627.158 pessoas, aumentou em 8,3% (356.053 pessoas) em relação ao terceiro trimestre de 2019 (4.271.105 cidadãos).

As mulheres continuam a ser mais afetadas pelo desemprego do que os homens, com uma taxa de 33,5% contra 30% para os homens, e a taxa de desemprego na área urbana (42,6%) é cerca de três vezes superior à da área rural (17.0%).

Nos últimos dois meses, extinguiram-se cerca de 4 mil postos de trabalho em Angola e os setores da hotelaria e da restauração estão à beira da falência, devido à pandemia. Estes factores levam sindicatos a pedir fundo de desemprego. A DW África, conta que nestes dois meses de estado de emergência as dificuldades são imensas para as empresas, porque a restauração não está autorizada a voltar ao funcionamento normal, como está a ocorrer com os outros setores.
