“…Regarding business productivity, various results have been found in five EU countries, with only a small positive effect being due to the business support measures [50]. On the other hand, according to Olvera et al [51], the support measures helped reduce job losses in Central America, but the resilience and size of the companies were the most important factors in their survival.…”

“…In Vietnam, sales revenue of small and medium enterprises decreased and many small and medium enterprises went bankrupt. Financial assistance packages are prepared to ease the strain on vulnerable individuals and businesses (Ngoc Su et al, 2021;Calzada Olvera et al, 2022). These goodwill policies are timely to support SME resilience in responding to the pandemic (Paramita et al, 2022Calzada Olvera et al, 2022.…”

Nowadays, one of the biggest global concerns is the recovery of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) after the COVID-19 pandemic, as it has caused severe consequences to many of these businesses, leading to organization collapses and closures. To overcome this crisis, SMEs need to adapt to the new reality and plan for change. This study examines the resilience of SMEs in the post-COVID-19 context by exploring entrepreneurship, innovation adaptation and networking relationships. The authors have collected data from 100 SMEs in Northern Vietnam, with 21 questions for entrepreneurs who have experienced the pandemic. The responses were extremely positive, and the Smart PLS analysis of the SEM model showed a feasible research model with an R-squared value of 0.674, Cronbach alpha of 0.6 81 and composite reliability. The chosen factors were closely related to each other, and their relationship was quite consistent.

“…Thus adaptability is a short-term change, and transformation is a long-term change (Zurek et al, 2022). Studies have explored the resilience of firms and policy response on employment during the COVID-19 pandemic (Calzada Olvera et al, 2022). The resilience of the rural employment sector to the COVID-19 pandemic is not explored.…”

The study explores the effect of recent economic shocks due to policy changes and the COVID-19 pandemic on rural employment in India. The study uses three cases; (i) demonetization, (ii) Goods and Service Tax (GST) implementation, and the recent (iii) COVID-19 pandemic to explore the resilience of employment in the rural regions of India. The study used state-level data estimates on rural employment in India provided by CMIE, employment data from NSSO, and migration data from the population census. A modified version of interrupted time series analysis within the beta regression framework was used to quantify the effect of shocks. The study shows that the rural unemployment rates increased after economic shocks as per expectations. The effects were smaller in the case of demonetization but were significantly higher in the case of GST. Early trends suggest a significant short-term effect due to COVID-19-induced shock on unemployment. The study shows that the urban sector is more resilient than the rural sector. The study highlights the need for employment guarantee programmes and direct assistance during the shocks to increase the resilience of the rural economy.
