Head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Jeong Eun-kyung said, "It is a dangerous situation where no one, including me, can be free from infection."
In front of the unprecedented virus called Corona, the possibility of infection is equally open.
By the way, the results of the investigation were found to be unequal.
It is said that there is more polarization of jobs in the corona era.
From March to July, when the corona crisis was triggered, 1.7 million jobs were lost in small businesses with less than 5 employees, but jobs increased slightly in large businesses with more than 300 employees.
This is the content of a report from the Institute for Workers' Movement, affiliated with the Solidarity of Social Progress, saying,'Where and how long is the corona re-proliferation and employment crisis?'
According to the report, considering the trend since 2010, when comparing the estimates without Corona 19 and the number of employed this year, the number of employed has decreased by about 1.17 million from March to July in small businesses'less than 5'.
In the '5 or more and less than 300 employees' businesses, which are called small and medium-sized businesses, there was a decrease of 1.40 million employees, a decrease in the number of employees per month, and there was no increase or decrease in the number of employees in '300 or more' classified as large companies.
The job loss caused by the corona crisis was the most severe in the small business sector, followed by the small and medium-sized businesses. There was no big impact in large companies.
The impact of the corona crisis was large in inverse proportion to the size of the company.
Researcher Han Ji-won, who wrote the report, pointed out that "the employment crisis caused by the corona crisis did not appear the same for all but more severe for the vulnerable."
The report suggests that we need to prepare for the'second crisis' that is currently spreading based on the analysis of the first crisis situation between March and July.
I pointed out that companies that have been maintaining employment for nearly half a year have already reached their limits by using suspension, leave, and employment maintenance subsidies.
So, researcher Jiwon Han said, "In businesses that have fewer than 5 employees than large companies, in the private sector rather than the public, and in the service industry, in industries that have experienced a change in the utilization rate of more than 10% such as aviation, travel, entertainment, accommodation, movies, art, beauty, and retail, The crisis is going to be serious in the industrial complex's traditional micro-manufacturers, so measures appropriate to these industries must be established.”
He also said, "The first demand for a'prohibition of dismissal' issued by the KCTU was not appropriate as a solution to the employment problem focused on the vulnerable." He added, "We need to raise the level of the system that continuously benefits the difficult class in the corona crisis, which has entered into a prolonged period," he added.
