项目摘要

This project will compare the labour market impacts and policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK and Japan. The COVID-19 pandemic is a sudden and drastic global shock, but has had very different impacts in different labour markets, and this shock will influence future labour market trends even after the immediate health crisis has been resolved. Identifying the similarities and diversity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the labour market and policy responses, as well as the changes in the perceptions and behaviour of people, companies, and governments, can contribute to finding solutions to the common medium- and long-term problems that predated the COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, Japan and UK are two unique and very suitable countries for comparative study in that we observe features of both divergence and convergence in labour markets and policy responses. For example, the characteristics of the labour markets of Japan and UK are very different, but the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the labour market was similar in terms of unemployment. By identifying further areas of convergence and divergence, and analysing the effectiveness of policy responses, we will clarify the short-term and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on several aspects of labour market and inequality trends; explore whether the COVID-19 shock exacerbated/intensified or mitigated existing megatrends and challenges; and analyse policy implications.

该项目将比较英国和日本对COVID-19疫情的劳动力市场影响和政策应对。COVID-19大流行是一场突如其来的剧烈全球冲击，但对不同劳动力市场的影响截然不同，即使在当前的健康危机得到解决后，这场冲击仍将影响未来劳动力市场的趋势。识别COVID-19大流行对劳动力市场和政策应对的影响的相似性和多样性，以及人们、公司和政府的观念和行为的变化，有助于找到解决COVID-19大流行之前常见的中长期问题的方法。在这方面，日本和英国是两个独特的，非常适合进行比较研究的国家，因为我们观察到劳动力市场和政策反应的差异和趋同特征。例如，日本和英国的劳动力市场特征非常不同，但COVID-19疫情对劳动力市场的影响在失业方面相似。通过进一步识别趋同和分歧的领域，并分析政策应对措施的有效性，我们将阐明COVID-19大流行对劳动力市场和不平等趋势的多个方面的短期和长期影响;探讨COVID-19冲击是否加剧/加剧或减轻了现有的大趋势和挑战;并分析政策影响。
