Schilirò, Daniele (2022): The global economy, the people and the covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract

The paper highlights the consequences on the global economy and the people of the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes in the way people work, including the widespread adoption of remote work and modifications in social interactions, have been clear outcomes of the pandemic. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the highly unequal economic effects experienced by individuals as a result of the pandemic, particularly affecting vulnerable groups such as young people, women, and those with low incomes. Concurrently, the pandemic has also fostered the adoption and development of digital technologies.
