“…The World inequality report 2022 maps income inequality and its evolution up to 2020 (Chancel et al, 2022, p. 55). From foreign and international research and studies devoted to the issue of the impacts of COVID-19 on income inequality, we will mention, for example, the works: Dauderstädt (2021aDauderstädt ( , 2021bDauderstädt ( , 2022aDauderstädt ( , 2022b, Ferreira (2021), Almeida et al (2021), Astarita and Alcidi (2022), Waldenström (2021), Clark, d'Ambrosio, and Lepinteur (2021), Narayan et al (2022), Darvas (2021), Palomino, Rodríguez, and Sebastian (2020). Large literature review on the issue is also provided by Stantcheva (2022), including a complex of economic-policy measures to prevent unwanted inequalities.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has serious economic and social consequences, including impacts on the socio-economic situation of households. In our contribution, we want to focus on the effects of the pandemic on the income inequality of the population of European countries and its causes. In the theoretical part, we present several studies that were created on the given issue, mainly at the international, but also at the national level from Slovakia, Czechia and other national states. We also clarify the difference in the results that the studies bring. In the analytical part, using indicators from the EU SILC surveys from the Eurostat database, we describe the development of the level and rate of income inequality in European countries in 2019-2021 (the last available data), which is last pre-pandemic and two pandemic years. We describe income inequality measured by the Gini coefficient and by median income. We describe the income level according to average income values. For comparison, we present data on income in euros vs. in PPS. The effects of the pandemic on the income inequality of European nations are very diverse, but common factors across European countries that had an impact on the development can be specified. We summarize these in the work. In conclusion, we point out, among other things, the importance of investigating the given issue, especially in the context of crisis developments or other turbulent changes in the European economic environment that await us prospectively.

“…In fact, informal and slum settlements but also other forms are abundant in Europe comprising manifold physical appearances. They commonly have their roots in societal phenomena such as discrimination (e.g., European Commission, 2011Commission, , 2020, inequality (e.g., Dauderstädt, 2017), segregation (e.g., Wacquant & Howe 2008), refusal (e.g. Korando, 2012) and escape (UNHCR, 2021a) in consequence of global markets (Sassen, 1996), economic crisis (e.g., Andriopoulou et al, 2018), climate change (UN-Habitat, 2020), natural disaster (e.g., Guadagno, 2016), terrorism (e.g., Helbling & Meierrieks, 2020), war (de Haas et al, 2019), rural exodus with urban population pressure (Davis, 2011) and lack of housing space ( de Soto, 2000).…”

A democratic regime is assumed to implement freedom and equality as the two critical and most important values. The question we intend to address here is: how and why has the actual implementation of freedom and equality been changing in the 1990–2020 period? Researching this topic, we cannot ignore the impact of the Great Recession since 2008. Thus, in this comparative research, we analyse France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom to detect the changes. As expected, the six largest European democracies have been differently affected by the crisis, as they also had different background factors. We address an additional question: what is the impact of the European Union on the two democratic values? Accordingly, we analyse economic inequality, social inequality, and ethnic inequality with the related changing trends and explanations. We also detect and analyse the trend of freedoms, and especially personal dignity, civil rights, and political rights. Thus, the relative decline of equalities and freedoms in the six countries emerge in the different complex facets. We also explore the demand for equalities and freedoms by citizens and the political commitments of party leaders. The other issues we address include how and why, respectively, equalities and freedoms are affected by domestic aspects and the role of external factors, especially the European Union. By connecting equalities and freedoms and drawing the lines of entire research, we show how there are three different paths in the future of democracy: balanced democracy, protest democracy, and unaccountable democracy.
