Insufficiency of exceptional employment protection measures under COVID-19

Since the state of emergency came into force in Portugal, the government has approved exceptional measures with the aim of protecting employment, but there have been a number of situations that have given rise to interpretations that are against the law, as well as measures that are incongruous with the objectives they set out to achieve.

Filipe Lamelas and Ana Alves da Silva, CoLABOR researchers, are the authors of this third edition of Policies in Analysis, which analyzes the insufficiency, omission or problems of the legislation that creates and implements the measures in force in Portugal.
