The COVID-19 pandemic had severe impacts on almost every aspect of life, from health via economy to education. School closures around the world caused disruptions in learning development of children and youth. Estimates from 2022 show that globally, the annual gross domestic product (GDP) loss could amount to nearly 1,600 billion U.S. dollars annually if no counter measures are taken. The economic damage was predicted to be highest in East Asia and the Pacific, and the lowest in Sub-Saharan Africa.
