Abstract

This paper looks at data on how the scheme has been used, the state of the broader labor market, and experience in selected other advanced economies to evaluate the furlough scheme’s effectiveness and suggest what type of support should remain beyond the 30 September deadline. In addition, we aim to set out some of the critical challenges facing the labor market, particularly around employment, in the coming year.
