Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
We present real-time survey evidence on the labour market impacts of the coronavirus crisis in the US, UK and Germany, the role of the furloughing scheme in the UK and the relationship between workers’ ability to do their job from home and job loss. We show that the impacts of the crisis have been highly unequal, both across and within countries. We highlight the importance of workers’ ability to carry out their tasks from home as a predictor of job loss. Finally, turning to the UK furloughing scheme, we document which workers were most likely to be furloughed and analyse variation in the terms on which they were furloughed.
