Abstract

Project description The major social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will not be evenly distributed across society and existing inequalities in society may be exacerbated as a result. A research team from the UvA, EUR and VU will therefore map out the consequences of the corona virus on social inequalities. The research team looks specifically at the areas of work and income, education, social psychological well-being, and mutual solidarity and trust. They will look for social dividing lines, will identify vulnerable groups and formulate policy strategies for strengthening the resilience of individuals, organizations and society. The findings are relevant to society and science. This project is in line with another ZonMw funded project:Social Impact of Physical Distancing on Vulnerable Populations during COVID-19 in the Netherlands . The research is carried out by the University of Amsterdam, Erasmus University Rotterdam and VU University Amsterdam.
