Employment Prospects after a Pandemic

Let’s Talk about Employment prospects after a pandemic!

Introduction

According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered one of the worst jobs crises since the Great Depression. There is a real danger that the crisis will increase poverty and widen existing inequalities, with the impact felt for years to come. Countries now need to do everything they can to stop this jobs crisis from turning into a social crisis. Reconstructing a better and more resilient labor market is an essential investment in the future and in future generations. As NEETs are already a marginalized group of people, learning about the employment prospects after this pandemic and gaining new digital skills (such as the skill to plan and record a podcast) are very important.
