| description | The COVID-19 pandemic, as an external factor, quite strongly disrupted the existing trends in the evolution of employment in the Polish-German borderland. The objective of the article is to analyse how resilient Polish and German municipalities are to the COVID-19 pandemic. Border regions, due to their specificities, are characterized by weaker resilience to negative external factors, which meant that the COVID-19 pandemic had a detrimental effect and caused an upturn in unemployment. The empirical part of the study concerns the Polish-German borderland as a clear example of the described tendencies. The study uses the counterfactual before-after comparison method. The novelty in this approach to the study of this hypothetical rate of unemployment involves filling the gap in the literature regarding research of cross border regions, while also developing the existing approaches in the research method used. The results of the survey indicate that the unemployment rate in the Polish-German borderland area has risen (after and due to the pandemic). There are some major differences in how the pandemic has impacted the labour market. Considering the counterfactual approach used, this difference can be described as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
