OLIVERA LOZANO, Fidel  y  OLIVERA LOZANO, Guillermo. A Critical Effect of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Employment in Mexico. Carta econ. reg. [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.128, pp.27-58.  Epub 01-Oct-2024. ISSN 2683-2852.  https://doi.org/10.32870/cer.v0i128.7827.

The cycle of formal employment during 2020, following the Covid-19 pandemic, is analyzed in three stages: paralysis with destruction, interrupted recovery, and relapse. Likewise, using data from the Mexican Social Security Institute on monthly changes to the numbers of insured workers, it was possible to identify the impact of government management, and trace the history of infection provoked by the disease, in lost or gained employment at each stage. Changes to the numbers of those in employment are illustrated by the economic sector, state, size of economic unit, salary range, sex and age group of the workers. The highest rate of unemployment was in tourism and recreational services, the most populous states with dense metropolitan areas, medium and large economic units, among young workers, the very young and those over 60 years old, and those with the worst wages. It is estimated that it will take at least until 2022 for the quality of work to recover and the accumulated deficit to be restored.
