More than 60 per cent of the poor and low-income population who suffered income losses because of the coronavirus-induced economic downturn did not receive any support from the public and private sectors, according to a new survey. Only 39 per cent of households got some assistance between April and June. But it amounted to 4 per cent of their lost income, said the Power and Participation Research Centre (PPRC) and the Brac Institute for Governance and Development (BIGD) in the study report.
