20.500.12556/RUP-22943 Impact of Job Loss on Household Income during the COVID-19 Pandemic Results of a Quasi-Experimental Analysisin the Republic of the Congo This study evaluates the average monthly income loss associated with COVID-19-related job losses in households in the Republic of the Congo (ROC). Firstly, the propensity score matching (PSM) method is used for the estimates. Secondly, endogenous switching regression accounts for theunobserved effect. The data used are from the survey on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the living conditions of Congolese households conducted in 2020 by the National Institute of Statistics of the ROC. The results show, on the one hand, that the PSM method underestimates the assessed impact and, on the other hand, that the increase in household income loss attributed to job loss due to COVID-19 is 232,432.9 XAF on average per month. These results imply several measures (reducing the costs imposed on employers, subsidies, etc.) and the adaptation of labour market regulations to the new realities. job loss household income loss COVID-19 propensity score matching endogenous switching regression Republic of the Congo true false false University of Primorska Press Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-04-10 08:25:23 2026-04-10 08:25:24 2026-04-11 03:08:03 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 Koper 0 5-31 no. 1 Vol. 24 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-03-31 1854-6935 https://doi.org/10.26493/1854-6935.24.5-31 ZUP_Ngassa_Ted_Cleophane_2026.pdf ZUP_Ngassa_Ted_Cleophane_2026.pdf 1 DCDC0874C287674CBB606AE140E56E27 3dccddcb7fe34a45faefa4f9b79fe83f065229edd907824d1f8f74859e1886d2 43cef15b-34a6-11f1-9e8d-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33512 https://www.hippocampus.si/ISSN/1854-6935/24.5-31.pdf 0 3ae9f754-34a6-11f1-9e8d-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33511 Založba Univerze na Primorskem 0 0 0
