The impact of HIV and AIDS on the world of work: Global estimates

International Labour Organisation (ILO) - "Almost 27 million workers are living with HIV. ILO and UNAIDS released a new report about the impact of HIV/AIDS on the workforce.

The majority of people living with or affected by HIV and AIDS are of working age. It is essential to understand and measure the economic and social impacts of the epidemic on the labour force.

Bringing together health data, in particular HIV prevalence data, with labour force, economic and demographic data, the report sets out social and economic impacts on workers and their households for 2005, 2010 and 2015, as well as projections for 2020." (Photo: ILO)
