项目摘要

This RAPID project addresses the need to maintain resilience in the STEM workforce during a pandemic. The researchers aim to assess which STEM jobs in which industries are more or less able to telework in the near term during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project also will examine the distribution of STEM occupations and wages within firms and compare across industries to gain insight into how disruptive COVID-19 will be at the workplace level. The research team will use large-scale population data, linked employee-employer data, and business establishment and firm microdata to model the 2008-2009 Great Recession and subsequent recovery and estimate the likely effects of COVID-19 recession on STEM workers and the STEM labor market. The research will provide policymakers with information and estimates that can shape policies to ameliorate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the STEM workforce. The research goals are to (1) measure how much of the STEM workforce is able to continue work in which occupations and industries during the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) model the likely effect of the COVID-19 work disruption and economic recession on STEM workers and the STEM labor market, and (3) inform policies that can ameliorate the effects of pandemics on STEM workers. The research team will merge Occupation Information Network (O*NET) and American Community Survey (ACS) data to assess which STEM workers are potentially able to continue work during the COVID-19 pandemic and to what extent. To estimate the likely effects of COVID-19 recession and recovery on STEM workers, the team will construct a longitudinal dataset of workers and firms and augment the data with occupations that can support telework. The researchers will use the experience of the 2008-2009 Great Recession and subsequent recovery to evaluate the wider economic recession effects of COVID-19 to document factors that mitigate or exacerbate effects of recession on STEM employment. The research results can help guide policies that support telework and other changes in the structure of work and workplaces to enhance future workforce resilience. The project responds to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is supported by the ECR: Building Capacity in STEM Education Research competition of the EHR Core Research Program (ECR) that funds fundamental research focused on STEM learning sand learning environments, broadening participation in STEM fields, and STEM professional workforce development.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个迅速的项目解决了大流行期间保持STEM劳动力的韧性的必要性。研究人员的目的是评估哪些STEM工作，其中在COVID-19大流行期间，在短期内或多或少能够远程远程远程远程远程远程远程远程远程工作。该项目还将研究公司内部的职业和工资的分布，并比较整个行业，以深入了解与19级的破坏性相关。研究小组将使用大规模的人口数据，链接的员工 - 雇主数据以及业务机构和公司的微型数据，对2008 - 2009年的大衰退以及随后的康复进行建模，并估算Covid-19-19的可能对STEM工人和STEM劳动力市场的可能影响。这项研究将为决策者提供信息和估计，这些信息和估计值可以塑造政策，以减轻19009大流行对STEM劳动力的影响。研究目标是（1）衡量在COVID-19大流行期间的职业和行业的STEM劳动力中的数量，（2）模拟了Covid-19-19的工作中断和经济衰退对STEM工人和STEM劳动力市场的可能影响，以及（3）可以使Pandemics对STEM Wormers的影响的政策。研究小组将合并职业信息网络（O*NET）和美国社区调查（ACS）数据，以评估哪些STEM工人在19日期大流行期间有可能继续工作以及多大程度上。为了估计Covid-19衰退和恢复对STEM工人的可能影响，该团队将构建一个工人和公司的纵向数据集，并通过可以支持远程办公的职业增强数据。研究人员将利用2008 - 2009年的大衰退和随后的康复经验来评估Covid-19的更广泛的经济衰退影响，以记录减轻或加剧经济衰退对STEM就业的影响的因素。研究结果可以帮助指导支持远程办公的政策以及工作和工作场所的其他变化，以增强未来的劳动力弹性。该项目响应了Covid-19-19的大流行。 EHR核心研究计划（ECR）的ECR：在STEM教育研究竞争中的建立能力为基础研究提供了支持，该研究的基础研究重点是STEM学习沙子学习环境，扩大参与STEM领域以及STEM Professional Soverforce Development。该奖项反映了NSF的立法任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力评估来评估的，并且值得通过评估来评估基金会的优点和广泛的范围。
