The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy have been devastating for several specific types of economic activities. Transport, Accommodation, and Food services, and travelling activities are closely linked to social distancing implications. This study reveals which activities are most affected and includes factors such as gender and age. To this end, different zones of the European Union have been analysed to determine the indirect, direct, and induced effects of a change in the final demand, using multi-sectoral models applied to social accounting matrices. The sensitivity to changes in demand and the effects on employment show specific patterns regarding age and gender.
