Jose Manuel Abel, 52, cleans a table in the restaurant where he works as a waiter in Chipiona, southern Spain, August 23, 2018. Abel bade farewell to his wife and children and left his native Spain in 2012 after losing his job. He spent six years in Germany doing low-paid work before returning home last year. He now has a temporary job as a waiter, working 17 hours a day, but he expects to be laid off once the summer tourists stop coming to Chipiona. "I'm working as a waiter and I don't have a problem with that because I think that any kind of job is respectable," Abel said. "I have studies, training and I intend to use them in the future." Abel is also working with friends to set up a local political party which will contest municipal elections in 2019. "I don't want my sons to suffer and live what I had to live through," he said. "I don't want to them to migrate and to look for a job opportunity away from this marvellous place." REUTERS/Marcelo del Pozo

"After the Lehman crash, the first thing people did was to stop spending money in the red-light district," said Aizawa. He has three clubs of his own and employs more than 70 men to staff them. Aizawa also set up two other business ventures unrelated to his clubs. REUTERS/Toru Hanai

Former Lehman Brothers employee Gwion Moore poses for a portrait in central Sydney, Australia, September 11, 2018. Moore is one of those pictured in the Reuters photograph on Sept. 11, 2008, which became a symbol of the global financial crisis - 20 bankers attending an emergency meeting at the London office of Lehman Brothers, their backs turned to the window as the firm slid into collapse. He recalled the contrast between the growing sense of panic in financial markets over the fate of the stricken firm with the mood inside the building at the time. "It was almost a festival atmosphere at the bank. We weren't doing any business. But people were still coming to work and just chatting to each other," Moore said. He now works in his native Australia. REUTERS/David Gray

Former UK finance minister (Chancellor of the Exchequer), Alistair Darling, poses for a photograph in Edinburgh, Scotland, Britain, Aug 31, 2018. Darling was in charge of the British economy as the financial crisis escalated. Now a member of the upper house of parliament, he says the decision by the Conservative-led government in 2010 to try to wipe the country's budget deficit in five years extended the slowdown in the economy. "What is commonly called austerity has prolonged the downturn. It has taken far, far longer to see a recovery and of course the process is by no means complete," he said. REUTERS/Russell Cheyne

Bankers attend an emergency meeting at the London office of Lehman Brothers, in the financial district of Canary Wharf in London, Britain, September 11, 2008. The photograph caught the moment when Gwion Moore, one of those pictured in the photograph, and his colleagues were being told by bosses that things were going to be OK, despite the plummeting Lehman Brothers share price. "Senior management thought they needed to get the workforce focused again," Moore said. "The phrase was stop 'goofing around and get back to work'. I don't think anyone took the message very seriously because we went back to doing what we had been doing beforehand. No one was going to trade with us." REUTERS/Kevin
