Abstract(s)
A presente investigação analisa o impacto da pandemia de Covid-19 no desemprego em Portugal. Foram analisados dados desde 2007 para fazer uma contextualização pré-Covid. Este estudo seguiu uma metodologia hermenêutica e qualitativa que procura contextualizar o impacto da Covid-19 em 2020, a forma como diferentes governos atuaram face à crise e as medidas tomadas, como o confinamento. Também é descrito o impacto da Covid-19 tanto em Portugal como na União Europeia e ainda é feita uma análise económica, nomeadamente do desemprego. O principal objetivo deste trabalho final de mestrado é responder à questão de investigação: qual é o impacto da pandemia de Covid-19 no desemprego em Portugal? Uma vez que esta é uma questão abrangente, decidimos desagregar a questão num conjunto de subquestões: Antes da pandemia de Covid-19, estaria Portugal na trajetória para convergir com a UE quando aos níveis de emprego e índices económicos?; No contexto da pandemia, terão as medidas aplicadas pelo governo português durante o ano de 2020 sido suficientes para mitigar o desemprego?; Que medidas foram aplicadas noutros países em 2020 que fariam sentido em Portugal?; Poderá a UE ter medidas que promovam o emprego a longo prazo?; Neste contexto, que medidas de promoção do crescimento económico e do desemprego poderá Portugal adotar no futuro? Os resultados deste estudo mostram que Portugal fez uma boa gestão da pandemia em 2020 e que o desemprego foi bastante mitigado pelas medidas, como o lay-off. Contudo, Portugal foi dos países que menos dinheiro gastou no combate à pandemia, e mesmo assim teve um elevado aumento da dívida pública e uma elevada queda no PIB. Apresentaram-se também propostas de políticas públicas para enfrentar de forma mais adequada as consequências económicas da Covid-19.
The research conducted in this master´s thesis analyses the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on unemployment in Portugal. It analyses data have from 2007 onwards so that there is a pre-Covid contextualization. This study follows a hermeneutic and qualitative methodology that seeks to contextualize the impact of Covid-19 in 2020, and the measures taken by different governments to face the crisis, such as lockdowns. It also describes the impact of Covid-19 both in Portugal and in the European Union and puts forward an economic analysis, namely of unemployment. The main objective of this work is to answer the research question: what is the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on unemployment in Portugal? Given that this is a comprehensive question, we decided to break it down into a set of sub-questions: before the Covid-19 pandemic, was Portugal on track to converge with the EU when it comes to unemployment levels and economic indicators?; in the context of the pandemic, were the measures taken by the Portuguese government during 2020 sufficient to mitigate unemployment?; what policies were applied in other countries in 2020 that would make sense in Portugal?; Can the EU adopt policies to promote long-term employment?; in this context, what policies to promote economic growth and unemployment can Portugal adopt in the future? The results of this study show that Portugal managed the pandemic well in 2020 and that unemployment was largely mitigated by measures, such as the lay-off. However, Portugal was one of the countries that spent less in fighting the pandemic, but even so it had a high increase in public debt and a steep drop in GDP. Finally, some public policies to better face the economic consequences of Covid-19 are also put forward.
