Poverty and social security in time of crisis – lessons (to be) learned during the Covid19 pandemic.

According to epidemiologists, it is very likely that other global pandemics will occur in the near future, reinforcing the need to understand what works and what does not in times of
economic downturn triggered by a pandemic. In this context, the main objective of the project described below is to generate knowledge about the economic impact of the Corona pandemic on society, with a focus on poverty, to (a) better understand how the most vulnerable in society are affected in a crisis and (b) gain insights into how to improve social security and crisis management for socially disadvantaged groups.
