Analyzing Divergent Labor Market Responses

Imagine two countries, Country X and Country Y, are both heavily reliant on international tourism. A sudden global event causes a worldwide halt in travel, representing a significant economic shock to both nations. After one year, economists observe that the unemployment rate in Country X has risen by 10 percentage points, while in Country Y it has only risen by 3 percentage points. Briefly explain two potential underlying economic or policy differences between the two countries that could account for this starkly different labor market response to the same shock.
