Lao clothing workers benefit from income support
More than 20,000 clothing workers affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in Laos have received emergency income support worth LAK18.6m (US$1.8m) from the German government.
The funding, channelled through the International Labour Organization (ILO), paid out LAK900,000 (US$85) to each of 20,698 employees at 47 clothing factories between March and October last year.
