COVID-19 Concerns: Balancing Economy, Jobs, and Lockdowns - Debunking Misconceptions

COVID-19 has caused a global health and economic crisis that has affected millions of lives and livelihoods. To contain the spread of the virus, many countries have imposed lockdown measures that have disrupted business activities and social interactions. But how much do lockdowns really affect the economy? And are there alternative ways to balance the trade-offs between saving lives and saving jobs? In this video, we will debunk some common misconceptions about the impact of COVID-19 on employment and growth, and explore some policy options to support a resilient and inclusive recovery. We will draw on the latest research and data from the OECD, the IMF, the World Bank, and other sources to provide evidence-based insights and recommendations.
