This table shows the results according to two sets of samples: formal and informal workers. The dependent variables are decrease in income and job loss. Decrease in income takes the value one if the person's income diminished from 2019 to 2020 and the value of zero otherwise. Job loss takes the value of one if the person loses his/her job from 2019 to 2020 and zero otherwise. Remote work takes the value of one if the person changed his/her work modality from face-to-face to remote from 2019 to 2020 and zero otherwise. Gender takes the value of one if the person is a male and zero otherwise. Urban is a variable that takes the value of one if the person comes from the Lima Metropolitan area and zero otherwise and Year 2020 is a dummy variable that takes the value of one in 2020 and zero otherwise. Remote work × 2020 is an interaction variable that multiplies the remote work dummy from 2020 times the Year 2020 dummy
