Economic and Societal Inequalities in the Time of COVID-19
Abstract
In this chapter, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic and social inequalities is analyzed in five dimensions: health, income, education, gender, and digital inequalities. Cases from developed countries provided as the evidence of the stimulating effects of COVID-19 pandemic on the inequalities. The requirement of emergent transformation of the traditional methods to digital ones put a certain pressure on the social and economic structures. The existing dynamics has been stimulated by the containment and closure policies of the governments. Even in the developed countries, the financial packages couldn't prevent the detrimental effects of the lockdowns on the equities and inequalities. In this chapter, these effects are discussed, and some policy recommendations are offered.
