This is a summary of a report 'Mapping innovative practices in the field of active labour market policies during the Covid-19 crisis' by the European Training Foundation (ETF) that offers lessons on how Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) can be used to combat unemployment and improve human capital development during the pandemic-induced crisis and in light of trends such as climate change and digitalisation.
