"The envisaged GDP forecast for 2020 is dreadful: -7.1% at the global level, down to -9.1% in the OECD area. In these circumstances, unemployment in the OECD will almost double this year, from 5.4% in 2019 to 9.4% at the end of 2020. The recovery will be slow and painful. Yet, it can be a Just Recovery – and importantly, it can and should be managed differently than during the 2008-09 crisis."
