Abstract
COVID-19 has had a considerable impact on social and cultural problems that exist in society, especially those related to economic problems. Since the emergence of this pandemic, many companies and corporations have finally granted employment termination, this has also been done by companies to support government policies in the form of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) to reduce the spread of the virus. Another problem of concern is that poverty and unemployment could increase quite drastically. Because companies and corporations alone are not only one or two in Indonesia. From the above background, the purpose of this study is to find out the impact of COVID-19 on the country's economy, as well as to find out programs for community empowerment as a solution to overcoming poverty and unemployment that occur after the pandemic. The method that researchers used in writing this article was a qualitative approach, supported by the thick description method. In addition, with literature study which will be used as a supporting method to find valid data. The results of the study found that the government is less empowering the informal sector and also these Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). In fact, jobs in the informal sector and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises or MSMEs can be an alternative medium to reduce poverty and unemployment. Through CSR programs from existing companies, it is hoped that the community can be empowered as well as the informal sector and MSMEs. When corporations or companies carry out empowerment activities for the informal sector and also MSMEs, it is possible that the problems of poverty and unemployment that have occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic can be reduced and overcome.
