“…The Covid-19 pandemic has led to the reduction of economic activity, and the measures taken in many countries have been an unprecedented economic disaster and an unexpected stress test for the functioning of local labor markets (Ascani et al, 2021), the impact on the labor market in developing countries in Europe, in particular, has drawn attention, as governments imposed restrictions on the business activities of entities, leading to a deterioration of the financial situation of the workforce (Mikołajczak, 2022). Moreover, compared to urban areas, in rural areas, deadlocks have led to a greater increase in economic insecurity, especially for women and households with children (Arin et al, 2022), as the role of caregiver for women has increased over the pandemic period, further exacerbating gender inequalities on the labor market. However, as a result of the support measures for job retention adopted by the authorities, as well as the gradual resumption of activity in many sectors, the job market has returned to normal.…”

The level of economic and social development of a country is closely linked to the degree of urbanization. Continuous urbanization will bring new opportunities for and challenges to sustainable development, which is closely correlated with the general level of economic and social development. Thus, the global urbanization trend has been accompanied by changes in employment, representing both a goal and a means of sustainable development at the level of all the branches of national economies. A major test for all the countries was the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which severely impacted the labor market in Europe and beyond. This research aims to produce an overview on the employment situation in urban and rural areas for 31 countries in Europe, as well as on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on employment for the analyzed countries. Although cities are development centers for their countries in terms of economics and quality of life, there is also a need to improve the living conditions of rural residents and increase the attractiveness for all population segments, in order to reduce the rural-urban imbalance in terms of employment opportunities.

“…Although the event regression method is mostly used in the fields of telecommunications, electricity and other market studies, it has also been applied to study events related to COVID ( Hoehn-Velasco et al, 2021 , Arin et al, 2022 , Backhaus, 2022 , González-Val and Marcén, 2022 , among others). This way, the incidence of COVID-19 can also be modelled by this model to analyse how infection rates vary before and after events, such as when the Spanish government declared the state of emergency or the reopening of business activity.…”

By conducting two waves of large-scale surveys in the United Kingdom and Germany, we investigate the determinants of identity and inequality misperceptions. We first show that people substantially overestimate the share of immigrants, Muslims, people under the poverty line, and the income share of the richest. Moreover, women, lower-income, and lower-educated respondents generally have higher misperceptions. Only income share misperceptions are associated more with people who place themselves on the left of the political spectrum. In contrast, the other three misperceptions are more prevalent among those who place themselves to the right. We then attempt to correct misperceptions by conducting a classic controlled experiment. Specifically, we randomly assign respondents into a treatment group informed about their initial misperceptions and a control group left uninformed. Our results indicate that information treatments had some corrective effects on misperceptions in Germany but were ineffective in the United Kingdom. Moreover, information treatments in Germany were more effective for men, centrists, and highly educated respondents. There is also no evidence of spill-over effects: correcting one misperception does not have corrective effects for the other misperceptions.
