Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion
Dr. Laura Bambrick:
I will conclude. At the same time, we recognise that not all previous jobs will return and that the impact of the pandemic on the labour force has been uneven. It has impacted younger workers, unskilled workers, migrant workers and part-time workers, and if we cannot deliver their jobs back, we are going to have to deliver them the skills. Unfortunately, we have not had the new pathways to work strategy and the new youth employment charter, so we cannot comment on that. My colleague might want to comment on the other issues.
