Abstract

The aim of the study was to identify possible ways to protect the rights of people who have lost their jobs due to the spread of COVID-19, and thus to analyze the effectiveness of international experience. The information in this article is obtained by three methods: direct observation, comparison, and analysis of the
content of the documents. However, at the beginning of the pandemic, the regulation of guarantees and social protection of the rights of dismissed people was not enough. In the future, job seekers must learn the skills of the most popular professions and specialties: in the field of healthcare, in the field of digital technology and transportation. In turn, government programs should promote the reconversion of the most vulnerable groups in the labor market through free courses and online learning programs, and assistance in the employment of people with disabilities. It is concluded that, during the pandemic, most countries modified their labor regulations and provided labor subsidies to preserve jobs. However, during recovery after the pandemic, governments in all countries must change their approach.
