      abstract = {Due to the ongoing Covid-crisis, the number of workers  benefiting from short-time work schemes was high,  especially during lockdowns, another large group of workers  started working from home, and others, unfortunately, lost  their jobs. The current situation is unprecedented, because  it is the only global recession driven solely by a pandemic  and the decrease in life expectancy is the worst since  World War II. This article first shows that the literature  on the socioeconomic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic does  not say much about working poverty. Applying a theoretical  model
presented in 2018 based on the four mechanisms that  lead to working poverty (at the
household level), this  article considers the potential short- and mid-term  implications of the pandemic for the working poor in  Europe. It also proposes conceptual reflections about which  working poverty indicators may improve our understanding of  what has unfolded since the pandemic began.},
