  • This article evaluates short-time work (STW) schemes, known as temporary labour adjustment plans in Spain, from a comparative perspective. The use of STW schemes in the European Union during the COVID pandemic contained the redundancy processes that traditionally occur during adjustments to economic crises. These programmes not only made it possible to maintain employment but also allowed for a much faster economic recovery. The main contribution of this article is that it studies the functioning and results of this type of action in Spain and also considers the effects in other countries. This policy watch exercise also points to some recommendations for improving the functioning of STW schemes.
