We investigate income inequality and health in workplace, initiatives for Corporate Social Responsibility, employment measures of companies, corporate performance, and the relationship between them. At first, we investigate the macro model with positive utility of labour under the condition that consuming goods needs consuming time not only with budget constraint but also with time constraint. The pandemic of COVID-19 has influenced the economy and the employment in the world. Furthermore, we investigate the income inequality and the employment under the pandemic.
