The response of European public employment services to the Covid 19 crisis
Almost all EU public employment services use short-time work to tackle the economic consequences of the Covid-19 crisis. At the same time, the number of unemployed is increasing. Beyond changes in the work organization, economic structural change calls for educational policy and labor market policy answers. In addition, the employment services themselves are facing a strong surge in digitization. The study commissioned by the European Commission provides an up-to-date insight into the measures taken by the EU countries.
