Paris, June 11 (RHC)-- The virus crisis has triggered the worst global recession in nearly a century - and the pain is not over yet even if there is no second wave of infections, an international economic report warned.

Hundreds of millions of people have lost their jobs, and the crisis is hitting the poor and young people the hardest, worsening inequalities, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said in its latest analysis of global economic data.

"It is probably the most uncertain and dramatic outlook since the creation of the OECD," Secretary General Angel Gurria, adding that OECD could not "make projections as as we normally do."
