Sektor bankowości detalicznej stanowi podatny grunt dla zbadania wpływu cyfryzacji na pracę i zatrudnienie. Usługi finansowe są w coraz większym stopniu świadczone przez internet, bez pośrednictwa instytucji zorientowanych na klienta. Wiele banków w tym sektorze przechodzi seryjną restrukturyzację od czasu światowego kryzysu finansowego i należy do jednego z niewielu sektorów usługowych charakteryzujących się zatrudnieniem na stałym poziomie lub jego spadkiem.
Although the worldwide pandemic situation had already disrupted supply chains and triggered increases in energy and food prices in 2021, the situation deteriorated in 2022 with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Governments throughout the EU had already started to intervene with policy measures in a bid to cushion the impact of rising fuel and energy prices on citizens, but the situation demanded further responses. This article summarises these first policy responses, as reported in Eurofound’s EU PolicyWatch database, up to the end of May 2022.
As the war in Ukraine has intensified, the cost of food, raw materials and energy prices, already high due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has continued to rise substantially.

This article summarises these first policy responses, as reported in Eurofound’s EU PolicyWatch database, up to 31 May 2022.
