The International Labour Organization (ILO) and Eurofound are pleased to invite you to their joint webinar. A panel will discuss how COVID-19 is affecting the European labour market, how Europeans are experiencing the current crisis, as well as the policy responses of EU Member States and social partners to the pandemic.
The panelists will analyse which sectors and groups of workers are most affected and explore how the global situation compares to that of the EU. They will also reflect on possible solutions to mitigate labour market disruption in the wake of COVID-19. The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A.
The ILO estimates that an equivalent of 305 million full-time jobs will be lost globally during the second quarter of 2020. Compared to other regions, Europe presents one of the largest losses in hours worked. The crisis is hitting young people harder and faster than any other group. According to the latest ILO Monitor on COVID-19 and the world of work, more than one in six young people are out of work due to COVID-19 while those who remain employed have seen their working hours cut by 23%.
The first results from Eurofound’s Living, working and COVID-19 online survey paint a stark picture across the EU27, with people experiencing a deterioration in their economic situation and reporting serious concerns for their financial future. A growing number of Europeans are experiencing a dramatic decrease in working time. Over a third of those in employment have started to work remotely as a result of the pandemic, also impacting on their working conditions.
