Collapse in the number of hours worked
Compared to 2008 crisis Country impacts, % change from Q4 2019
27. How else is this crisis different?
Scale much deeper and many countries hit around the same time
Place (city versus rural) and sector dynamics of rebound (e.g. tourism) not
the same
People affected: usual suspects (youth, low skilled) but also new groups given
sectoral hits (women)
Digitalisation and automation measures “supercharged” given social distancing element
of this crisis

In addition to the COVID-19 tidal wave, will some undercurrents
also change course or intensify?
Automation &
digitalisation
Green transition
Urbanisation
Automation-related job losses will come sooner
Expanded use of teleworking, e-commerce, and other digital tools
Shift in consumer preferences for greener products
Expanded public investment in green infrastructure
? Tension between preserving jobs and transitioning carbon-intensive sectors
? Large urban areas could see population decline
? New opportunities to attract workers and jobs outside of large metros
? A shift from mobility to accessibility
Globalisation Managing supply chain risks could result in limited relocalisation
