Description
Session Chair: Mr José Luis Escrivá, Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, Vice-Chair of the Ministerial Meeting (Spain)
The COVID-19 crisis has accentuated socio-economic divides in labour markets and societies. Vulnerable labour market groups, such as workers on non-standard contracts, low-paid workers, young people, and in some cases women, have been most heavily affected by job and earnings losses. This session will focus on policies to reverse existing inequalities and bringing all on board in the recovery.
• How successful has your country been at ensuring that emergency programmes during the COVID-19 crisis reached the most affected groups, such as the low skilled, young people, women, persons with disabilities, migrants and racial/ethnic minorities? Has your country explicitly targeted support to such groups, or designed programmes so as to facilitate easier access?
• Which of the emergency measures that you have taken may remain in place more permanently, because they address larger structural challenges and help tackle inequalities?
• In light of the war in Ukraine, what measures are needed now to support low-income households and workers and employers in heavily affected sectors? What measures has your country taken, and what have the challenges been?
• What are the key labour market risks affecting vulnerable groups of workers in your country in the near future?
