metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article examines EU initiatives prompted by the need to protect the labor market and
  working citizens in member states, and measures taken at the national level in Germany and
  France. The EU’s involvement in ensuring protection of workers’ rights in pandemic circumstances
  has been limited to formulating recommendations to countries and financial assistance,
  as well as prioritizing the social element in European Union policies. This paper examines
  the Support to mitigate Unemployment Risks in an Emergency instrument developed by
  the EU in 2020 and the draft directive on an adequate minimum wage in the EU published at
  the height of the pandemic in autumn 2020. A review of measures in Germany and France focuses
  on a mechanism to reduce working hours during the period of economic activity restrictions
  by placing most costs on the state. In Germany, this is the Kurzarbeit (reduced working
  hours) program. In France, this is the transfer to reduced working hours with the permission
  of the administrative authority, in the case of lost wages caused by the temporary closure of
  the company or part of it, or reduction of working hours below the statutory working hours.
  The author concludes that the rapid economic and labor market recovery in these countries
  is, among other things, due to the financing of the wages lost due to wage restraint from the
  state budget. It is of interest to further study the foreign experience of implementing reduced
  working hours programs for possible use in Russia.
