“…The chapter by Sánchez Gassen and Penje presents a variety of statistics illustrating recent labor market developments in the Nordic countries, with a particular focus on immigrant-native unemployment and employment differentials. The overall picture is in line with other international evidence suggesting that the pandemic hit the labor market prospects of the foreign-born particularly hard (Fasani and Mazza 2020;Borjas and Cassidy 2020). This trend follows a common experience from previous economic downturns where marginal groups are typically more affected than those with a stronger foothold.…”

“…In general, studies find that the effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic on labor market outcomes are more severe for women (Adams‐Prassl et al ., 2020; Alon et al ., 2020; Montenovo et al ., 2020), the less educated (Adams‐Prassl et al ., 2020; Béland et al ., 2020; Benzeval et al ., 2020; Cortes, 2020; Gupta et al ., 2020; Montenovo et al ., 2020; Mongey et al ., 2020; Yasenov, 2020), younger workers (Adams‐Prassl et al ., 2020; Yasenov, 2020; Cortes, 2020; Béland et al ., 2020), immigrants (Béland et al ., 2020; Borjas et al ., 2020; Fairlie et al ., 2020; Montenovo et al ., 2020; Yasenov, 2020), the financially vulnerable/ poor (Alstadsæter et al ., 2020; Benzeval et al ., 2020; Cortes and Forsythe, 2020; Mongey et al ., 2020), parents (Alstadsæter et al ., 2020), as well as for workers unable to work remotely (Béland et al ., 2020; Cortes and Forsythe, 2020; Mongey et al ., 2020) or workers in non‐essential industries (Gupta et al ., 2020).…”

We use panel data from three waves of a large representative population survey carried out between June and November 2020 to assess in what regards and to what extent different groups of the German population are affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Using common factor analysis, we show that people's lives are mainly affected in two ways: First, a notable fraction of the population is concerned that they or their family members and friends may get infected with the coronavirus. Second, many people suffer from socio-economic consequences of the crisis, including a discontinuation of employment, a decrease in household income, and worries about financial troubles. Regressing these two factors on several socio-demographic characteristics reveals that especially the socio-economic consequences vary across population groups. Self-employed persons, marginally employed workers, low-income households, and families with children appear to be burdened overproportionally.

“…Orozco (2002) argues that migration represents an important dimension of globalization and family remittances constitute a major factor in integrating. Borjas and Cassidy (2020) find that in the US labour market, COVID-19 related labour market disruptions severely affected immigrants. They explain that joblessness was higher among immigrants because they were less likely to work in jobs that could be performed remotely.…”
