Expert-Grup Asks: How Will the Labour Market in the Republic of Moldova Change in the Context of COVID-19?
Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.
In its “Expert-Grup Asks” campaign, the Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” asked respondents how the labour market in the Republic of Moldova will change in the context of COVID-19, beyond higher unemployment and lower wages. The article presents the most frequent answers.
The largest group of respondents (32 answers) said that working from home will largely replace office work. Companies will therefore need to adapt their management and communication styles and ensure employee control and monitoring, while prices for office space could fall.
Another 27 answers pointed to a rise in new job offers in certain industries, such as online sales, courier services, and information and communication technologies. This opens employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, but training in these fields is important. Finally, 26 respondents said working conditions will worsen (uncertainty, security, stress). Besides supporting entrepreneurs, employees’ rights must be respected and protected equally with those of employers.
