Handbook on Inequality and COVID-19

Edited by Kenneth A. Couch

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In this comprehensive Handbook, Kenneth Couch brings together expert contributors to provide insights into the impact of COVID-19 on new and pre-existing inequalities in health, work, and education. While sharper impacts on pre-existing cross-group disparities were often resolved by vaccinations and the lifting of restrictions, this important work indicates that in many respects disadvantaged groups will endure lasting negative effects from the pandemic.
