Description
Autoliv France, manufacturer of motor parts, is to cut 140 jobs out of a total of 1000 employees in the site of Gournay-en-Bray (Seine-Maritime) in response to the difficulties the automobile industry is facing in the financial crisis. The management announced that job cuts would be achieved by the end of 2009 through voluntary departures within three phases:
60 employees by 31 July
100 employees by 31 October
140 employees by 31 December
However they added that compulsory redundancies would be secured within each phase if the planned number of job cuts is not reached. The restructuring plan is an additional measure to cope with the crisis after a short time working scheme was introduced with two days per week since February.

The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
