Firstly, the propensity score matching (PSM) method is used for the estimates. Secondly, endogenous switching regression accounts for the unobserved effect. The data used are from the survey on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the living conditions of Congolese households conducted in 2020 by the National Institute of Statistics of the ROC. The results show, on the one hand, that the PSM method underestimates the assessed impact and, on the other hand, that the increase in household income loss attributed to job loss due to COVID-19 is 232,432.9 XAF on average per month. These results imply several measures (reducing the costs imposed on employers, subsidies, etc.) and the adaptation of labour market regulations to the new realitiesTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza na Primorskem, Fakulteta za management
