Fő megállapítások

  • In the 12 months leading up to Spring 2020, EU employment declined by 2.4%, the weekly hours of those still in work dropped by nearly one hour and the share of workers employed but not working more than doubled to 17%. By July 2020, nearly 50% of EU workers had moved to exclusive or partial telework, opening up new labour market gulfs as the more highly educated and those in urban areas were better placed to work from home.

  • In the 12 months leading up to Spring 2020, EU employment declined by 2.4%, the weekly hours of those still in work dropped by nearly one hour and the share of workers employed but not working more than doubled to 17%. By July 2020, nearly 50% of EU workers had moved to exclusive or partial telework, opening up new labour market gulfs as the more highly educated and those in urban areas were better placed to work from home.
  • Young people experienced the sharpest decline in employment, while prime-aged workers (25–54 years) and older male workers have been most likely to see their working hours cut. The need to avoid another ‘lost generation’ of young people must be a priority for policymakers when designing active labour market policies to mitigate the fallout from the crisis.
  • Workers with precarious employment conditions have been particularly exposed to job losses because of the pandemic: the number of temporary contracts in the EU27 shrank by 17% between spring 2019 and spring 2020, accounting for well over three-quarters of the decline in aggregate EU employment.
  • Short-time working or similar schemes to protect employment have buffered the impact of COVID-19 on the labour market, but the scope and level of income protection offered varies significantly between countries. Establishing permanent short-time working or similar systems that can be activated in crisis situations and allow for the structural adjustment of economies and human resources will be critical, as well as the strong involvement of social partners and other stakeholders in these schemes to prevent unforeseen exclusion in relation to eligibility and other anomalies.
  • The COVID-19 crisis has provided an impetus in most countries to extend income protection to groups not previously protected. However, the level of support granted to the self-employed often falls short of the protection provided to workers as the eligibility criteria introduced included sectoral restrictions, limitations to certain groups of self-employed and requirements to meet income reduction thresholds.

Ez a jelentés a Covid19-válság Európán belüli foglalkoztatásra gyakorolt kezdeti (2020 második negyedévéig terjedő) hatásait, köztük az egyes ágazatokban és különböző kategóriájú munkavállalók esetében tapasztalható következményeit értékeli. Emellett a szakpolitikai döntéshozók által a válság kedvezőtlen hatásainak korlátozására hozott intézkedéseket is vizsgálja. Először áttekintést nyújt a válság vállalkozásokat, munkavállalókat és polgárokat érintő következményeinek mérséklése érdekében alkalmazott szakpolitikai megközelítésekről. A csökkentett munkaidős foglalkoztatás, az önálló vállalkozásokat célzó jövedelemtámogatási intézkedések, a szükségalapok, valamint a bérletidíj- és jelzáloghitel-halasztási intézkedések kidolgozására, tartalmára és hatására összpontosít. Végezetül feltárja, milyen szerepük van a szociális partnereknek az ilyen intézkedések kidolgozásában és végrehajtásában, és hogyan járul hozzá az uniós finanszírozás ezeknek az intézkedéseknek a támogatásához.

  • Data

    A selection of 10 data pages accompany Eurofound's report on the implications for employment and working life during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Előfordulhat, hogy az Egyesült Királyság Európai Unióból való 2020. január 31-ei kilépését megelőzően végzett és később közzétett kutatások mind a 28 uniós tagállamra vonatkozó adatokat tartalmaznak. Ezen időpontot követően a kutatások – eltérő rendelkezés hiányában – csak a 27 uniós tagállamot veszik figyelembe (az EU28 az Egyesült Királyságot leszámítva).

Part of the series

  • COVID-19

    Eurofound’s work on COVID-19 examines the far-reaching socioeconomic implications of the pandemic across Europe as they continue to impact living and working conditions. A key element of the research is the e-survey, launched in April 2020, with five rounds completed at different stages during 2020, 2021 and 2022. This is complemented by the inclusion of research into the ongoing effects of the pandemic in much of Eurofound’s other areas of work.
