"After a year of the pandemic, society's unwillingness to do anything about the massive inequalities in the pandemic's consequences is increasingly being experienced as a disregard for one's own achievements and dignity as a human being in the particularly affected classes - service providers, production workers and small businesses," according to the latest report of the Working World Monitor. It compares the results of the two major survey waves from 2020 and 2021 and comes to many other findings, some of which are surprising. In the first wave in April/May 2020, 11,176 employees took part in the online survey, and 7,165 in the second wave in April/May 2021. In addition to the surveys, the project also uses qualitative interviews. However, this report focuses on the quantitative results.
The Working World Monitor "Working in the Corona Crisis" is a joint project of the University of Osnabrück (Prof. Dr Hajo Holst) and the Office for University and Trade Union Co-operation in Lower Saxony and Bremen. The current report was published under the following title: "One Year of Corona - The Medium-Term Labour Market Effects of the Pandemic".
