The social impact of COVID-19

Social impact of COVID-19 monitored over time. COVID-19 has a major impact on various aspects of living together: work and income, well-being, solidarity, neighborhood relations and trust in institutions. Some groups and areas are hit harder than others. An interdisciplinary research team led by Godfried Engbersen (Eramus University Rotterdam) is monitoring the impact of COVID-19 over time. This project was made possible by ZonMw. Goal The project investigates the impact of corona on living together: well-being, solidarity, neighborhood relations and trust in institutions. Research design The project examines the above aspects in relation to each other, with special attention to social inequality. This is done with large-scale survey research, both nationally and in cities and regions. In-depth qualitative research is also conducted. Action strategies are developed together with policy makers, professionals and citizens to increase individual and social resilience. Results The results can be found in podcasts and publications.
