The Ashburn Institute
Post-Covid Economy and Graduate Recruiting Conference
Covid-19 is a global phenomenon. The serious health, economic, social and political consequences of the pandemic are becoming increasingly apparent around the world, although they are manifesting themselves differently in different countries. An economic crisis of this magnitude has a detrimental impact on the labor market. As the graduate labor market mirrors the issues in the larger economy, there are fewer jobs for young people. Moreover, graduates are in a weaker position,as many of them have no work experience and do not have the resources to sustain long-term unemployment.
Graduate recruitment is declining globally. But are there any countries that are doing better than others? What type of government -federal or authoritarian -has the advantage of containing the impact of Covid-19 on the economy and creating job opportunities for the young graduates? What sectors of the economy look most promising across countries and government types in terms of employment for young graduates? Are there strategies for "weathering the storm" of graduation toa (post)-Covid economy? If so, are there any differences between the countries with varying types of government?
These and other related questions are proposed for examination by a selected group of graduate students, first, in an orientation webinar, further through individual research, and finally they will be discussed at the Ashburn Institute conference “Post-CovidEconomy and Graduate Recruiting” and published
