Swinging into action in response to the covid-19 pandemic

June 29, 2020

WAPES together with its partners International Labour Organization (ILO), Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and SOCIEUX+, carried out a joint survey of the world’s public employment to assess how they have adapted to the health and economic crisis following the Covid-19 pandemic, with the objective of anticipating the main lines of their actions in the coming months.

This survey focused on four areas:

  • Prevention and economic support
  • Measures to maintain PES services
  • Services organization measures
  • Current or foreseeable problems

Webinar Objective:

To share the first results of the joint survey and initiate a joint reflection on the main actions to be undertaken.

Share the first results of the joint survey

To share and enrich our thoughts on the adaptations of our organizations and the measures implemented in order to contain the effects of the crisis and to support the recovery.

Target Audience:

This webinar is aimed at all public employment services and particularly those who have contributed through their responses to this survey, their partners, at academics and anyone interested in employment and labour market issues.

The web-conference will be available in English, French and Spanish.
