Faced with the backdrop of sudden changes in the labour market due to the onset of the COVID‑19 pandemic, Nordic countries were quick to respond through policy interventions across the areas of unemployment benefits, job retention schemes, active labour market policies and skill policies. This chapter provides an overview of the impact of the pandemic on Nordic labour markets and an assessment of the associated policy responses undertaken. Drawing on the key lessons that can be derived from the Nordic crisis response, the chapter also provides a set of key recommendations in each policy area to enable Nordic countries to build more inclusive and resilient labour markets in the post-pandemic period.
