In recent months the media has been highlighting the increase in inflation, the lack of control of energy prices or the increase in electricity bills, added to this is the lack of labor in several countries. The crisis caused by covid-19 has destroyed millions of jobs and many working people who have lost their jobs are still unemployed. Estimates from the International Labor Organization (ILO) on the impact of the crisis on employment are overwhelming; throughout 2020, some 255 million full-time jobs would have been destroyed around the world. Currently, in the labor markets of the largest economies in the world, a trend of clear recovery is observed, reaching in many cases the situation of not finding enough workers to satisfy the labor needs of companies. While millions of people remain unemployed, as the current recovery in labor markets coexists with unemployment rates higher than the levels they had in . Most of the authorities of the world's main economies currently affected by the lack of labor work have expressed concern about its possible effects on recovery. The problem is very visible in countries like the United States or the United Kingdom, and although with another dimension it also affects the European Union (EU) or China.
July of this year, the labor shortage in the United States reached its all-time high, with almost 11 million unfilled vacancies. Also this summer in the United Kingdom, official statistics warned of almost Australia Phone Number million vacant jobs, only in the services sector. Between 2013 and 2019, the lack of workers increased and the coronavirus pandemic exacerbated this shortage This problem that affects several countries raises the following questions, among others: What explanation can be given to the fact that job offers remain vacant and job seekers cannot find employment? How to interpret this apparent contradiction? This is not an unknown problem; in the years prior to the Covid-19 crisis, the problem of labor shortages became increasingly relevant in the labor markets of the EU and other industrialized countries. The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (EUROFOUND), in a recent report, states that between 2013 and 2019 the lack of workers increased, and the coronavirus pandemic exacerbated this shortage, although in some sectors it is from afar, such as in health activities or in Information and Communication Technologies. In Spain, the health crisis and its negative effects on the economy and employment are significantly lower than those of the 2008 economic crisis.
The Active Population Survey (EPA) for the second quarter of this year included 3,543,800 people in unemployment - 313,200 more unemployed than in the same period of 2019 - and the unemployment rate stood at 15.26%, since then there have been three months of job creation and reduction in unemployment registered by public employment services. On the other hand, the drop in employment during the financial crisis reached 6,202,700 unemployed people with an unemployment rate of 27.16%, according to the EPA for the first quarter of 2013. The causes of such important differences in the evolution of the Employment in both crises obeys the policies applied by the corresponding governments. During the financial crisis, the PP Government imposed, without social dialogue or political consensus, neoliberal policies based on cuts in public services, social protection and active employment policies and a labor reform that deregulated collective bargaining. to devalue salaries, caused the precariousness of employment and working conditions and facilitated dismissal. All of this produces an increase in inequalities and working poverty. Faced with those regressive and harmful policies for decent work and social cohesion, the PSOE-UP Government has been developing a response to the health crisis based.
