Abstract

The global crisis caused by the spread of coronavirus was firstly acute and visible for the sanitary system, but the economic and social life were equally affected also. Work, professions, jobs were already suffering rapid transformations before the outbreak of Covid 19 and the pandemic brought new patterns, directions, hierarchies, preferences and necessities for companies, employees or entrepreneurs. Using data from the International Labour Organization and Eurostat, this paper aims to understand how the crisis determined by the Covid 19 outbreak influenced the work domain, from a comparative perspective, at global and European level. Several indicators, like employment and unemployment rates evolution, the share of temporary or part-time contracts or changes regarding remote work are captured. Several issues as work-family balance, blurrier boundaries between the two, remote working and the impossibility to perform frontline jobs remotely, the challenges caused by the pause in providing care and educational activities are also discussed.
