Tóm tắt

 This brief describes the results of the labor market module, which tracks changes in employment status, job type, and labor earnings. Job- and earnings-related outcomes are tracked in three periods: (a) in January 2020
  (b) at the time of the first lockdowns (March-April 2020), through a series of retrospective questions
  and (c) in the previous seven days, through standard questions about current work status. This retrospective panel design allows for the assessment of changes in labor market outcomes for economically active people in 2020. A complimentary brief examines the impacts of income shocks on the ability to meet basic needs and the coping strategies available to households.
