COVID Makes Us Unequal in the Labor Market

We are not equal before COVID. An analysis by Vincenzo Galasso shows that during the Italian lockdown the least educated individuals, blue collars and low income workers have suffered the worst consequences in terms of impossibility to work, loss of income, deteriorating expectations and psychological stress.

The study was conducted within the COVID Crisis Lab and an international project that includes 12 countries (REPEAT - REpresentations, PErceptions and ATtitudes on the COVID-19).
