The short-term impact of the 2020 pandemic lockdown on employment in Greece
This paper analyzes the short-term employment impact of the COVID-19 lockdown in Greece during the first few months following the pandemic onset. During the initial lockdown period, aggregate employment was lower by almost 9 percentage points than it would have been expected based on pre-pandemic employment trends. However, due to a government intervention that prohibited layoffs, this was not due to higher separation rates. The overall short-ter…
Exploring livelihood transitions in the Mekong delta
Important environmental and economic changes are transforming livelihoods in coastal communes throughout the Mekong delta. In the process, the historical reliance on rice farming and fishing has become less viable and sustainable, forcing households to construct more complex livelihood strategies. To document these livelihood transformations, we have analyzed primary survey data from 346 households across eight coastal communes in Ca Mau Province…
Jobs for Africa's expanding youth cohort: A Stocktaking of Employment Prospects and Policy Interventions
Youth unemployment and underemployment are serious concerns in sub-Saharan Africa, especially given the region's young population.

Research Gaps Facing Training Policy-Makers
An important proposition driving the current policy debate over training in this country is that Canadian industry must invest more in developing its human resources. This paper examines the "underinvestment" contention, assessing the evidence that does exist and identifying what additional information would be necessary for appropriate decision-making in the training policy area. The central argument is that policymakers--who must decide if, and…
