UN/DESA Policy Brief #65: Responses to the COVID-19 catastrophe could turn the tide on inequality

UN/DESA Policy Brief #65: Responses to the COVID-19 catastrophe could turn the tide on inequality

This brief identifies inequalities around the COVID-19
pandemic in exposure, vulnerabilities and coping capacity.
It suggests that crisis responses in four areas could turn
the tide on inequality. These include expanding systems
for the universal provision of quality social services;
identifying and empowering vulnerable groups; investing
in jobs and livelihoods; and acting through the multilateral
system to respond to disparities across countries.
