“…This is especially integral for informal economy workers or daily waged earners, who are disproportionately affected by these quarantine measures, making physical distancing measures difficult to adhere to 22. The need for such support is more evident in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), where a large proportion of their population belongs to informal sector and is impoverished 23 24. However, vulnerable groups also exist in upper-middle-income and high-income countries, which are disproportionately affected by COVID-19 who also need government support.…”

COVID-19 public health and social measures: a comprehensive picture of six Asian countries

et al. 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic will not be the last of its kind. As the world charts a way towards an equitable and resilient recovery, Public Health and Social Measures (PHSMs) that were implemented since the beginning of the pandemic need to be made a permanent feature of health systems that can be activated and readily deployed to tackle sudden surges in infections going forward. Although PHSMs aim to blunt the spread of the virus, and in turn protect lives and preserve health system capacity, there are also unintended consequences attributed to them. Importantly, the interactions between PHSMs and their accompanying key indicators that influence the strength and duration of PHSMs are elements that require in-depth exploration. This research employs case studies from six Asian countries, namely Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam, to paint a comprehensive picture of PHSMs that protect the lives and livelihoods of populations. Nine typologies of PHSMs that emerged are as follows: (1) physical distancing, (2) border controls, (3) personal protective equipment requirements, (4) transmission monitoring, (5) surge health infrastructure capacity, (6) surge medical supplies, (7) surge human resources, (8) vaccine availability and roll-out and (9) social and economic support measures. The key indicators that influence the strength and duration of PHSMs are as follows: (1) size of community transmission, (2) number of severe cases and mortality, (3) health system capacity, (4) vaccine coverage, (5) fiscal space and (6) technology. Interactions between PHSMs can be synergistic or inhibiting, depending on various contextual factors. Fundamentally, PHSMs do not operate in silos, and a suite of PHSMs that are complementary is required to ensure that lives and livelihoods are safeguarded with an equity lens. For that to be achieved, strong governance structures and community engagement are also required at all levels of the health system.

“…Errenta baxuko herrialdeetako jende askok lana galdu du edo diru-sarreren murrizketak ikusi ditu, eta aberatsenek nola edo hala ekaitzari aurre egin ahal izan diote. Gainera, pandemiak agerian utzi ditu osasun-zerbitzuak eta teknologia eskuratzeko dauden desberdintasunak, desparekotasuna are gehiago handiagotuz [14,15]. Beheranzko joera orokorra alde batera utzita, efektu hau lan honetan ikertutako banaketetan ere azter daiteke.…”

Desparekotasun globalaren, energia-kontsumoaren eta CO$_2$ emisioen arteko harremana aztertu dugu ekonofisikaren ikuspegitik. Herrialde aberatsenek energia gehiago kontsumitzeko eta karbono gehiago isurtzeko joera dute; herrialde txiroenek, berriz, energia eskuratzeko aukera mugatua dute eta klima-aldaketaren ondorio negatiboen zama nagusia jasaten dute. Hau dela eta, energia-kontsumoa eta CO$_2$ emisioak desparekotasunaren adierazle gisa erabil daitezke. Azken 30 urteetako desparekotasun maila jaisteaz gain, sisteman oreka termodinamikoranzko erlaxazio asintotiko bat ikusten dugu, 0.5eko Gini koefizientearen baliorantz. Prozesu horretaz gain, analisian argi ikusten da COVID-19 pandemiaren eragina: perturbazio bat ageri baita desparekotasunean. Faktore ekonomiko, sozial, politiko edo teknologikoek bultzatzen dute dinamika, baina, gure ustez, ekonofisikak eskaintzen duen analisiak emaitza onak ematen ditu; ekarpen guztiak batuz, egoera globalaren ikuspegi berri bat sortzen baitu.

“…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.
