Productivity changes during the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated risk factors
Despite low unemployment rates, productivity loss was observed at other indicators: sickness absence, loss of hours and quality. In addition, productivity was lost unequally among groups. When preparing for future crises, attention should be paid to broader indicators of productivity loss among different groups. Findings may help for offering targeted interventions to minimize losses in productivity and protect higher risk groups of workers.
