This paper aims to shed light on work-life balance in Latvia during the state of emergency The COVID-19 outbreak has led many governments to introduce lockdowns While imposed restrictions may help to contain the spread of the virus, they may also result in substantial damage to population well-being The COVID-19 outbreak in Latvia demonstrates the extent and ways in which socio-demographics factors have determined different patterns of behaviour, attitudes, employment changes and harmonised work and life balance The study describes the chronological development of COVID-19 in the country It describes labour migration to and from Latvia before the COVID-19 outbreak It provides geographical features of the distribution of confirmed COVID-19 cases The extent of the COVID-19 threat at different levels is assessed focusing on the global, national, regional and intra-family level Finally, work forms and work-life balance are analysed according to geography and age groups © Krisjane, Z , Apsite-Berina, E , Berzins, M , Skadins, T , Burgmanis, Ģ , 2020 All rights reserved
