OECD Employment Outlook 2022
Building Back More Inclusive Labour Markets
Two years into the pandemic, economic activity has recovered faster than expected. However, the labour market recovery is still uneven across sectors and is threatened by the economic fallout from Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, which has generated the fastest growing humanitarian crisis in Europe since World War II, sending shockwaves throughout the world economy. The 2022 edition of the OECD Employment Outlook reviews the key labour market and social challenges for a more inclusive post-COVID‑19 recovery. It also examines the policies to address these challenges and the outlook ahead. Particular attention is given to frontline workers and groups lagging behind in this recovery (young people, workers with less education, and racial/ethnic minorities). The Outlook also addresses a number of long-standing structural issues that have a key relevance for labour market inclusiveness, such as employer market power and its labour market consequences, the role of firms in wage inequality, and the effect of working time policies on well-being and economic outcomes.

OECD全体での総雇用は2021年末に危機以前の水準に戻り、2022年初め数カ月も継続して堅調であった。失業率は2020年4月にOECD全体で8.8%のピークを記録してから徐々に下落し、2022年7月には4.9%になった。これは2019年12月に記録した5.3%よりも若干低い値である。にもかかわらず、労働市場の回復は国やセクターごとに濃淡があり未だ不完全である。回復の持続性についても、ロシアの理不尽、不当かつ違法なウクライナ侵略による経済の悪化によって雲行きが怪しくなっている。
