Potential earnings losses among high school and postsecondary graduates due to the COVID-19 economic downturn
In this paper, the potential earnings losses experienced by this year's class of high school and postsecondary graduates as a result of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) are simulated. These graduates may face very challenging conditions as they enter the labour market, which could have long-term ramifications for their earnings prospects. Consequently, earnings losses are simulated up to five years after graduation, based on various scenarios of this year's youth unemployment rate.
