Abstract
This Jobs Watch brief provides an
analysis of labor market and social protection responses to
the COVID-19 crisis, with a focus on policies targeted to
workers and firms. It includes a comprehensive set of labor
market interventions, using data from the global COVID-19
SPJ Policy Inventory. The analysis can inform governments of
approaches that can be taken when introducing or adapting
their crisis mitigation measures. To our knowledge, this is
the first summary of labor market policies adopted by
developing countries in response to the COVID-19 crisis.
