EMCC European Monitoring Centre on Change

Work has begun drafting a report on the labour market impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic one year on. Using EU-Labour Force survey data up to the end of 2020Q4, the report will identify the categories of workers most affected by employment loss or working hour decline resulting from the public health crisis. This will be an opportunity to update the findings of the recently published report COVID-19: Implications for employment and working life which showed that younger workers, those on temporary contracts and low-paid female workers were those most exposed to the initial negative employment impacts of the crisis in mid-2020. The report is based on a collaboration between Eurofound and European Commission-JRC researchers and will be published after the summer.

• Forthcoming publication: Structural changes in the labour market: Employment impact of the first year of the COVID-19
