Britain is suffering from what looks like a record level of inactivity in its labour market because of the huge numbers of people on furlough or facing unemployment due to COVID-19, Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane said.

“We’ve seen activity across the economy collapse, and we’ve seen a rapid rise in inactivity among workers - both people being made unemployed, but importantly ...
