在这项研究中,我们回顾了冠状病毒病2019年(新冠肺炎)大流行对加拿大劳动力市场的初步影响。我们重点关注2020年2月至2020年4月期间就业人数和总工作时间的变化,同时考虑到这些指标的正常月度变化。我们发现,新冠肺炎导致20-年龄段员工每周工作时间减少了32%,同时就业人数减少了15%。我们描述了失业的分布,发现近一半的失业是由收入最低的四分之一的工人造成的。受新冠肺炎影响最大的是在受停工影响最大的行业(住宿和餐饮服务)、年轻工人、小时工和非工会组织中面向公众的工作。这些结果为政策制定提供了背景,需要考虑劳动力市场的供需双方。
In this study, we review the initial impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the Canadian labour market. We focus on changes in employment and aggregate hours worked between February 2020 and April 2020 while accounting for normal monthly changes in these indicators. We find that COVID-19 induced a 32 percent decline in aggregate weekly work hours among workers aged 20–64 years, alongside a 15 percent decline in employment. We characterize the distribution of work lost, finding that nearly half of job losses are attributed to workers in the bottom earnings quartile. Those most affected by COVID-19 are in public-facing jobs in industries most affected by shutdowns (accommodation and food services), younger workers, paid hourly, and non-union. The results provide context for policy development, with both supply and demand sides of the labour market to consider.
