During the pandemic, sole breadwinners of the families lost their jobs which drastically worsened their living standards, adversely affecting their physical and mental health. The main agenda behind celebrating World Health Day on 7 April is to promote awareness of people's general well-being and mental health worldwide.
The January 2021 statistics from health.org indicate that 43% of unemployed people had inferior mental health. The laid-off employees had significant mental health issues (34%) compared with the people employed (27%). Promoting mental health awareness is therefore essential.
