OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The unequal impact of COVID-19 on the labour market
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.
