The great Canadian recovery: The impact of COVID‐19 on Canada's labour market
研究了COVID-19疫情对加拿大劳动力市场的冲击,利用劳动力统计和职位发布数据,分析了就业、失业和劳动力参与率的剧烈变化及至2021年底的逐步复苏过程。
Abstract The Canadian labour market experienced a period of unprecedented turmoil following the onset of the COVID‐19 pandemic. We analyze the main changes using standard labour force statistics and new data on job postings. Envisaging a phase of temporary severing of employment relationships followed by a phase of more standard labour market search and matching, we use stock and flow data to understand key developments. We find dramatic changes in employment, unemployment and labour market attachment in the first few months of the pandemic and a broad though gradual recovery through to the end of 2021.
