Abstract

This paper assesses the impact of covid-19 pandemic, measured through work mobility reduction, and e-commerce growth on the labour market using data from Indonesian labour force surveys and e-commerce transaction values. The findings confirm that the pandemic adversely affects workers' employment prospects, work hours, total earnings, and hourly earnings. E-commerce growth does not counteract the adverse impact of the pandemic as expected, but it plays a role as an employment buffer during the crisis, although it tends to suppress workers' earnings. Our results imply that more efforts are needed to improve the productivity of workers involved in e-commerce. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

COVID-19对发展中国家劳动力市场的影响和电子商务发展的作用:来自印度尼西亚的证据

本文利用印度尼西亚劳动力调查数据和电子商务交易价值，通过减少工作流动性和电子商务增长来评估新冠肺炎大流行对劳动力市场的影响。调查结果证实，疫情对工人的就业前景、工作时间、总收入和小时收入产生了不利影响。电子商务的增长并没有像预期的那样抵消疫情的不利影响，但它在危机期间发挥了就业缓冲的作用，尽管它往往会抑制工人的收入。我们的研究结果表明，需要做出更多努力来提高参与电子商务的工人的生产力。©2023 Informa UK Limited，交易名称为Taylor&Francis Group。

期刊介绍： Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy (JAPE) is concerned primarily with the developing economies within Pacific Asia and South Asia. It aims to promote greater understanding of the complex factors that have influenced and continue to shape the transformation of the diverse economies in this region. Studies on developed countries will be considered only if they have implications for the developing countries in the region. The journal''s editorial policy is to maintain a sound balance between theoretical and empirical studies. JAPE publishes research papers in economics but also welcomes papers that deal with economic issues using a multi-disciplinary approach. Submissions may range from overviews spanning the region or parts of it, to papers with a detailed focus on particular issues facing individual countries. JAPE has a broad readership, which makes papers concerned with narrow and detailed technical matters inappropriate for inclusion. In addition, papers should not be simply one more application of a formal model or statistical technique used elsewhere. Authors should note that discussion of results must make sense intuitively, and relate to the institutional and historical context of the geographic area analyzed. We particularly ask authors to spell out the practical policy implications of their findings for governments and business. In addition to articles, JAPE publishes short notes, comments and book reviews. From time to time, it also publishes special issues on matters of great importance to economies in the Asia Pacific area.
