论文摘要
数十亿人的就业状况受到全球联盟流行病的影响。需要关于如何减轻就业市场危机的新证据,但是只有少数研究主要集中在发达国家。我们通过使用来自东欧的过渡国家乌克兰的新数据来填补文献中的这一空白,该数据早期就制定了严格的隔离政策。我们对四个二元成果进行建模,以确定在隔离期间不工作的受访者(i),(ii)那些更有可能在家工作的人,(iii)害怕失业的受访者,最后,(iv)调查参与者(iv)储蓄有1个月或更少的情况下,如果隔离了1个月或更少的情况。我们的发现表明,在公共行政,编程以及IT以及高素质的专家中受雇的受访者更有可能在隔离期间获得工作。女性,受过良好教育的受访者以及住在基辅的人更有可能远程工作。在公共部门工作也使人们对未来的就业观点更有信心。尽管我们的发现仅限于城市家庭,但它们提供了有关就业市场成果,期望和金融安全相关的重要早期证据,表明社会经济不平等的潜在恶化。
The employment status of billions of people has been affected by the COVID epidemic around the Globe. New evidence is needed on how to mitigate the job market crisis, but there exists only a handful of studies mostly focusing on developed countries. We fill in this gap in the literature by using novel data from Ukraine, a transition country in Eastern Europe, which enacted strict quarantine policies early on. We model four binary outcomes to identify respondents (i) who are not working during quarantine, (ii) those who are more likely to work from home, (iii) respondents who are afraid of losing a job, and, finally, (iv) survey participants who have savings for 1 month or less if quarantine is further extended. Our findings suggest that respondents employed in public administration, programming and IT, as well as highly qualified specialists, were more likely to secure their jobs during the quarantine. Females, better educated respondents, and those who lived in Kyiv were more likely to work remotely. Working in the public sector also made people more confident about their future employment perspectives. Although our findings are limited to urban households only, they provide important early evidence on the correlates of job market outcomes, expectations, and financial security, indicating potential deterioration of socio-economic inequalities.
