Objectives
Creation of a set of .csv files and data dictionaries with sources considered relevant for studies on the impact of COVID-19 on the job market in Portugal.
Results
1 – Creating a csv file with data that is considered relevant from that file, such as:
– Discharges due to isolation.
– Layoff requests.
– Dismissals.
2 – Creating a data dictionary (Markdown table or .csv file) with the meaning of each variable;
3 – Creating a script to update this data daily by extracting it from the platform, with a similar logic to what we have been doing in the repository (using Github Actions);
4 – Creating a test script to test the validity of the data and the functioning of the script, with the tests considered relevant;
5 – Including the scripts in the current workflow.
