The COVID-19 pandemic was a shock to the global economy, taking the world by surprise. In Quebec, as everywhere else, the restrictive measures implemented to manage the health crisis had significant consequences on people's lives.
A recent CIRANO study by Amy Cissé, research assistant at the École de santé publique de l'Université de Montréal, and Thomas G. Poder, associate professor at the École de santé publique de l'Université de Montréal and CIRANO researcher, shows that the harm experienced on the physical, mental and social well-being of individuals from restrictive measures was significant during the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec.
During this midi-webinar, the authors will explain the conclusions of their report and how health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in particular deteriorated for those who were employed, highlighting the importance of addressing mental health issues in the workplace.
