More women in informal sector in Q1: GSO
The third COVID-19 resurgence has weakened the labour market recovery momentum gained in the second half of 2020 and forced many labourers, particularly women, to shift to informal employment, according to the latest report by the General Statistics Office (GSO).
A survey by the GSO reveals that though there was a fall in employment in the first quarter of 2021, the number of working females rose against the same period last year.
The increase, however, was largely due to a higher number of women working in the informal sector, the GSO said, adding that the growth of females in informal sector was higher than that of males.

The United Nations
The UN Security Council has unanimously passed a resolution which calls for all foreign forces and mercenaries to leave Libya and gives the green light for a UN team to monitor last October’s historic ceasefire agreement.
In a second vote announced on Friday afternoon in New York, ambassadors also passed a resolution unanimously, renewing measures relating to the illicit export of petroleum, through to 30 July, 2022.
Ceasefire monitoring
The UN-brokered agreement last year was signed by military representatives of the internationally recognized Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA), and rival administration of the so-called Libyan National Army (LNA), based in eastern Libya.
Many geopolitical analysts have seen Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s visit to Tripoli (accompanied by Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio) as a strategic move hoped for by the new US president for Italy to regain control of the former Libyan colony in order to counter the expansionist aims of Turkish President Recep Tayyp Erdogan who not too secretly dreams of the rebirth of an Ottoman Empire in the Mediterranean in the MENA area (Middle East – North Africa).
But the glimmers for the rescue of Libya, torn by an intermittent civil war since 2014 and interrupted by a real truce only in autumn 2020, cannot be taken without analyzing in depth the conflicting figure of the new Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dabaiba, 61 years old, who on paper will have to lead the country until 24 December 2021, the day of Libya’s 70th anniversary, the date on which the legislative and parliamentary elections should be held.
