Europe predicted unemployment growth

Since September, the number of unoccupied citizens in Europe will increase due to the program of maintaining jobs introduced during a pandemic. Analysts from The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) predicted that the average unemployment rate in France, Italy, Spain and Great to grow from 9.2 percent in 2020 to 10.1 percent in 2021.

In 2020, at the pendeemic pendemic, European countries sent employees to temporary leave to keep jobs. State programs in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom embraced about a third of the labor force. It was assumed that after removing restrictions, employees will return to their places.

However, the pandemic accelerated the automation of the sectors and changed the consumption structure. The firms whose work has become more efficient during Lokdaunov, may reluctantly return personnel to work. Analysts interviewed British entrepreneurs who participated in the state program. Of these, almost 20 percent said they would reduce staff, and about 20 percent are ready to offer employees only partial employment.

The volume of production returned to the level to the pandemic, but a large number of employees are still on vacation. Researchers suggest that some of these employees will be dismissed after the program is completed on September 30.

Great Britain has already encountered mass unemployment. At the same time, a paradox appeared on the labor market of the United Kingdom: despite the increase in the number of unoccupied citizens, the number of open vacancies has reached a record level. The lack of personnel in the country is 14 times higher than the normal level, and the salary is growing steadily.
