The coronavirus pandemic has weakened the labor market and has led to more workers around the world starting to withdraw from the increase. Bloomberg reports this with reference to the results of a survey of the job search service Indeed Inc. The least ambition was among the representatives of the baby boomer generation.
Almost all groups of workers said they are now less likely to ask for a wage increase than before the COVID-19 epidemic. However, this was especially evident among workers aged 54 to 65: only 51 percent of survey participants from this group admitted that they feel comfortable asking for a raise in their current job.
The baby boomer generation includes those who were born from 1946 to 1964. The generation name is associated with the surge in the birth rate in the world after the Second World War.
In general, the economic downturn triggered by the coronavirus pandemic has affected women more than men. Women are named the main victims, because they accounted for a greater number of layoffs and layoffs, in addition, women were forced to leave their jobs more often to look after their children.
The World Health Organization (WHO) came to a similar conclusion. “In relative terms, employment losses were higher among women than among men,” said WHO chief Tedros Adanom Ghebreyesus.
