Jobs most at risk account for 30 percent of all EU employment. These jobs are concentrated in lagging regions; tend to be low paid and less secure; and are disproportionately held by young, poorly educated workers and migrants. In the absence of urgent large-scale remedial action, the COVID-19 (coronavirus) is likely to exacerbate preexisting socioeconomic and regional disparities.CC BY 3.0 IGOCORONAVIRUSCOVID-19PANDEMIC RESPONSEINFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYHOME-BASED WORKEMPLOYMENTLABOR FORCELABOR POLICYLABOR MARKETESSENTIAL GOODS AND SERVICESVULNERABILITYPolicy NoteWorld Bank10.1596/33737
