German Papers Arbeitsbedingungen vor, während und nach der Covid-19-Pandemie: Die Beschäftigungsqualität ist weitgehend stabil geblieben (Working conditions before, after and during the Covid-19 pandemic: Job quality mostly remained stable) #IAB_Haushaltspanel "This study investigates the trajectories of the Covid-19 pandemic for different job quality dimensions between essential and non-essential workers, namely: Work-life-balance, pay satisfaction, autonomy, job demands, and career prospects. Our results show that pay satisfaction declined drastically for both groups, whereas job demands especially increased for essential workers. Autonomy and career prospects remain largely unaffected; we observe some increase for work-life balance." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en)) (author: Rahberger, Felix)
