Find effective count of employees within date range for each calendar week, Sql Server

-- Challenge: Find count of employees in date range of contract period
-- 
-- Solution: use generated(!) help data representing the wanted calendar weeks
--           here: year of calendar week is ignored
--           here: calendar week without contract data doesn't get displayed

-- demo data
create table workerContract(id bigint primary key, employmentStart  date, employmentEnd date);
insert into workerContract values (1,'2020-01-01', '2020-04-12');
insert into workerContract values (2,'2020-01-25', '2020-03-09');
insert into workerContract values (3,'2020-03-01', '2020-03-31');

-- try sql calendar week 'datepart' function on worker contract periods
--         select datepart(ww, c.employmentStart) , datepart(ww, c.employmentEnd) from workerContract c;

-- use ms specific recursive row generator function in order to get the week numbers
--     since no straight forward row generator functions available in sql server
--     how ever, this recursive function is somehow limited in depth, optional limit shifting possible
