Retrieved on: 
Monday, January 16, 2023

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the responses to it have heavily affected wage growth indicators in all euro area countries.

Key Points: 
  • The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the responses to it have heavily affected wage growth indicators in all euro area countries.
  • [1] This box examines cross-country developments in compensation per employee and per hour since the start of the pandemic.
  • While the type of shock was the same across countries, it differed in its impact.
  • This related to, among other things, the effects of the pandemic on different sectors, such as contact-intensive services (notably tourism).
  • [2] Cross-country differences in job retention schemes contributed to the heterogeneity of labour market and wage developments.
  • In most countries, they took the form of short-time work or furlough schemes.
  • [5] Only a small number of countries used wage subsidy schemes, whereby the subsidies received by employers were not linked to changes in hours worked per employee.
  • [6] Some euro area countries also ran different schemes in parallel, or changed their scheme during the pandemic crisis.
  • This is the case, for instance, whenever a shock hits higher and lower wage sectors to different degrees.
  • These show that in most countries, the implied compositional effects on overall wage growth remained small (Chart B).
