The results suggest that some important drivers of structural transformation (e.g. digitalisation and globalisation) are not as clearly linked to mass lay-offs as one might expect, once their impact on overall job destruction is accounted for. The report also investigates the re-employability prospects of workers in sectors at high risk of mass lay-offs. Finally, the paper draws implications for different areas of policymaking, from labour market policy to industrial policy and also trade policy UR - https://read.oecd-ilibrary.org/science-and-technology/structural-adjustment-mass-lay-offs-and-employment-reallocation_90b572f3-en#page1 UR - https://doi.org/10.1787/90b572f3-en ER -
