Coronavirus impact on work situation Spain 2020

The coronavirus outbreak has drastically changed many aspects of society's every day life, including the way we work. Spain, severely affected by the pandemic, had to transform the way its workforce operated to curb the spread of the coronavirus just like many other countries in the world. As of May 2020, almost 30 percent of Spain's workers were required to do home office and resume activity as usual. Some 18 percent of respondents were placed under ERTE regulations, by which they were temporarily laid off and had access to unemployment benefits paid by the Spanish Government.
