abstract: 'The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the vulnerability of tourism workers,

  but no detailed job loss figures are available that links tourism

  vulnerability with income inequality. This study evaluates how reduced

  international tourism consumption affects tourism employment and their

  income loss potential for 132 countries. This analysis shows that higher

  proportions of female (9.6\%) and youth (10.1\%) experienced

  unemployment whilst they were paid significantly less because they

  worked in tourism (-5\%) and if they were women (-23\%). Variations in

  policy support and pre-existing economic condition further created

  significant disparities on lost-income subsidies across countries. With

  the unequal financial burden across groups, income and regions, the

  collapse of international travel exacerbates short-term income

  inequality within and between countries.'
