An Integrated Assessment

Your challenge is to integrate various Earth Observation-derived features with available socio-economic data in order to discover or enhance our understanding of COVID-19 impacts.

EPIC JOB

Summary

In order to integrate unemployment data with Covid-19 infection / death curves, the solution is to create a website that informs the projections of job resumption in the various sectors so that the future of people's employment is less uncertain and they can adapt to new market trends. In addition, the site will supply other institutions, agencies or companies that promote content in a way that is accessible to the population, an example is the development of public policies and educational programs by government institutions.

How We Addressed This Challenge

This project fits the proposed challenge, as it integrates the observation of the number of deaths and infected by COVID-19 with the high increase in the unemployment rate. Its solution consists of analyzing and understanding the behavior of these data, associated with other relevant variables, in order to project the possible job scenarios and help the population to have information about their future in the job market, allowing people to prepare and have a less uncertain future.

How We Developed This Project

The team carried out a survey on the increase in unemployment rates in different countries, which occurred in the period resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. With that, the opportunity was observed to evaluate the effects that this can cause in the lives of people in terms of employability. Thus, we had the idea of ​​creating EPIC-19 (Explore, Propose, Improve for COVID-19), a website that will inform the population about future projections in different sectors of the labor market. This platform will have APIs for data entry such as HDI of the region, GDP of the region, number of cases and deaths by COVID-19, number of inhabitants, unemployment rate and data reported by users (professional area) and will make a correlation statistics and processing based on machine learning of the other relevant variables to generate results for the user.
