COVID-19 and employment policies: Resources and tools
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, and lock-down and slow-down measures are put in place, people around the world are increasingly anxious about their jobs. Policies to protect workers from employment risks and boost new employment opportunities are urgently needed. In response to such needs, the ILO Employment Policy Department will provide timely, relevant and vital resources on this page, including policy recommendations, best practices and innovative solutions.
