Is the COVID crisis correcting or amplifying pre-existing economic imbalances?

In some areas, the effect of the COVID crisis on pre-existing economic imbalances is ambiguous: For OECD countries, is there going to be a more normal income distribution between wages and earnings or not? On the one hand, there is a desire to increase low wages; on the other hand, companies are under strong pressure to restore their profitability and the labour market has deteriorated on the whole; Still in OECD countries, will the growing digitalisation of the economy lead to a shift towards “better” jobs and faster productivity gains, or might digitisation primarily create “bad” jobs instead? At the global level, will the sought-after acceleration in the energy transition take place, or will CO 2 emissions increase instead due to the shift in demand from services to goods?
