Abstract

The diffusion of the pandemic and the severity of COVID-19-related measures were very uneven across regions; however, the intensity of the restrictions was not always tightly linked with the strength of the pandemic. Economic interests and business power might have played a role in defining political responses at the local level, which are in turn able to shape the intensity of work-related mobility. This article aims at investigating whether regional variations in the stringency of COVID-19-related measures have actual impacts on work-related mobility and whether there is an independent effect of the pressure exerted by unions and businesses, assuming mobility to be governed concurrently by stringency, pandemic intensity, and pressure. Through the analysis of original regional-level indicators of stringency and public pressure, we demonstrate that trade unions’ pressure is associated with a decrease in work-related mobility during the first COVID-19 wave in Italy.

第一次COVID-19浪潮期间意大利地区的商业力量和工作场所流动性

各地区疫情扩散和疫情相关措施的严重程度极不平衡;然而，限制的强度并不总是与大流行病的强度紧密相关。经济利益和商业力量可能在确定地方层面的政治反应方面发挥了作用，而地方层面的政治反应反过来又能够塑造与工作相关的流动性的强度。本文旨在调查在疫情相关措施严格程度的地区差异是否对工作流动性产生实际影响，以及工会和企业施加的压力是否存在独立影响，假设流动性受到严格程度、大流行强度和压力的共同影响。通过对原始的区域一级严格性指标和公众压力的分析，我们证明，在意大利的第一次COVID-19浪潮期间，工会的压力与工作流动性的下降有关。
