Abstract

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been hugely heterogeneous across individuals depending on their job. The present paper classifies the health risk and the labour market risk associated with each job. The health risk depends on how likely it is that someone gets infected with COVID-19 while working, whereas the labour market risk measures the likelihood that workers performing these jobs will be (temporarily) laid off. Quantifying these risks is crucial, as they measure the exposure of workers employed in each job to the two most important risks related to the pandemic. The authors then characterize the individuals most exposed to these risks and finally investigate what the state can do to protect them.

Zsofia Barany讨论:不安全的工作

新冠肺炎大流行的影响因工作不同而在个人之间存在巨大差异。本文对与每项工作相关的健康风险和劳动力市场风险进行了分类。健康风险取决于某人在工作时感染新冠肺炎的可能性，而劳动力市场风险衡量的是从事这些工作的工人被（暂时）解雇的可能性。量化这些风险至关重要，因为它们衡量的是每项工作的工人面临的与疫情相关的两种最重要风险。然后，作者描述了最容易受到这些风险影响的个人，并最终调查了国家能做些什么来保护他们。
