The Impact

The present research aims to establish the impact that the current crisis situation the planet is facing, namely the COVID-19 pandemic, has had so far on the Romanian labor force market. In this context, given the lack of information and information regarding this pandemic and its effects, the administration of a questionnaire among the population was considered to identify the research results. The method of semantic differential and the method of ordering the ranks were used for the interpretation of the results. With the help of this questionnaire, it will be possible to answer the question of the research in this study: What are the main effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Romanian labor market? The main results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic affected the Romanian workforce; the respondents of the applied questionnaire claimed that they obtained better results and maintained a similar income, but the health crisis also influenced the mentality of employees, with respondents stating that in the event of changing jobs, they would consider it very important for the new employer to ensure the conditions for preventing and combating COVID-19, as well as complex health insurance. However, analyzing at the macroeconomic level, it was found that the COVID-19 pandemic induced an increase in the number of unemployed people in the Romanian labor market.

Abstract Purpose: This study tracks the growing number of direct care workers (DCWs) employed by private households and describes the differences between this often ignored labor force and DCWs employed by agencies. Design and Methods: Data were from the 1% Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) of the 2000 and 2017 American Community Survey (ACS). Logistic regression was used to compare demographic and employment characteristics of DCWs employed by private households and DCWs employed by agencies, which include outpatient care centers, home health care services, and individual and family services. Results: Between 2000 and 2017, the number of DCWs employed by private households in the U.S. increased 32% and the majority of this growth was since 2007. Compared to DCWs employed by agencies, DCWs employed by private households were more likely to be over age 65, white, unmarried, have higher educational attainment, be more likely to be in poverty, receive health insurance from Medicare or direct-pay. DCWs employed by private households were less likely to be under age 25, nonwhite, Hispanic, speak a language other than English, work year-round and full-time, receive health insurance from an employer or through Medicaid, and have a disability. Implications: DCWs employed by private households represent a small, but growing proportion of the long-term care (LTC) workforce in the U.S. Further, these workers are distinct within the LTC workforce. This has important implications both for DCWs and for families, particularly those with limited LTC options due to location, financial resources, family support, or other factors.
