9. PewResearch report suggests middle classmayhave shrunk by 30%and
number of poor risen by 7.5 crore
India’s middle class may have shrunk by a third due to 2020’s pandemic-driven recession, while the number of
poor people — earning less than ₹150 per day — more than doubled, according to an analysis by the Pew
Research Center. In a comparison, Chinese incomes remained relatively unshaken, with just a 2% drop in the
middle class population, it found.
The report, released on Thursday, uses World Bank projections of economic growth to estimate the impact of
COVID-19 on Indian incomes. The lockdown triggered by the pandemic resulted in shut businesses, lost jobs
and falling incomes, plunging the Indian economy into a deep recession. China managed to avoid a
contraction, although growth slowed, the report said.

10. “The middle class in India is estimated to have shrunk by 3.2 crore in 2020 as a consequence of the downturn,
compared with the number it may have reached absent the pandemic,” said the report, defining the middle class
as people with incomes of approximately ₹700-1,500 or $10-20 per day.
“Meanwhile, the number of people who are poor in India (with incomes of $2 or less a day) is estimated to have
increased by 7.5 crore because of the COVID-19 recession. This accounts for nearly 60% of the global increase in
poverty,” the report added, estimating an increase from almost 6 crore to 13.4 crore poor people. It also noted the
record spike in MGNREGA participants as proof that the poor were struggling to find work.
The vast majority of India’s population fall into the low income tier, earning about ₹150 to 700 per day. Pew’s
projections suggest this group shrank from 119.7 crore to 116.2 crore per day, with about 3.5 crore dropping below
the poverty line.

11. The middle income group is likely to have decreased from almost 10 crore to just 6.6 crore, while the richer
population who earn more than ₹1,500 a day also fell almost 30% to 1.8 crore people.
In contrast, China’s middle class is likely to see a miniscule dip of just one crore, while the number of poor people
may have gone up by 10 lakh, according to the report.
Pew warned that the situation may actually be worse than estimated. “The methodology in this analysis assumes
that incomes change at the same rate for all people,” it explained. “If the COVID-19 recession has worsened
inequality, the increase in the number of poor is likely greater than estimated in this analysis, and the decrease
in the number who are high income is likely less than estimated. The middle class may have shrunk by more
than projected,” it added.

5 groupof helpersto thankduringcovid-19:-
1. The Lifesavers
I’m sending a big shout-out to the scientific researchers who worked overtime and took no weekends off over these
past several months to come up with the vaccines that will go into the arms of cancer survivors like me. This is only
the first step on the road to normalcy, but an important one. The pharmaceutical industry, which often takes its
lumps from the public, also deserves to take a bow.
And how about the army of vaccinators, the hospitals, the pharmacies, the schedulers, the truck drivers and others
all working together to help restore my health and the health of the nation. What an amazing undertaking!

2. The Mask-Makers
Early on during the pandemic, ordinary citizens took to their sewing machines to make and donate countless
masks. I will be forever grateful for their selfless acts. I proudly wear their creations for the sake of good health
and to serve as a role model for others who may be more reticent to wear one.
3. The VirtualHuggers
A new brand of affection was born during this era: The virtual hug. I have given them and received them from
family members, and fellow cancer support group members at Gilda’s Club. The novel corona virus has wrought
much grief and sorrow, but the loving spirits in my inner circle has replied with positive vibes. It is truly loved
live-streamed!

My cancer support groups meeting on Zoom are led by trained facilitators ready and willing to provide comfort,
care and vital information to survive this health crisis. I can’t even imagine going through such trying times
without these compassionate professionals. They lend an ear and offer sage advice.
5. The DeliveryCommunity
In my little neck of the woods, delivery trucks bring everything from potting soil to bathroom plungers to
stationery to protein snacks to our doorstep. Also, the postal workers have stepped up their game to deliver
packages and mail to our home, putting their health on the line in the process
