The distribution of public and private costs in the Covid-19 crisis

Abstract

This analysis starts from the perspective of the distribution of labor costs in the coronavirus health and economic crisis. The State has assumed part of these costs, especially through ERTES with social protection for unemployment and social benefits for the self-employed. But companies, freelancers and workers also bear significant costs. I propose, with a view to the future of gradual recovery, measures that distribute the public and private costs of an economic downturn induced by the State itself for reasons of public health more equitably.
