Abstract
COVID‐19 has disproportionately affected the world's most economically and socially disadvantaged groups. Responses to COVID‐19's economic and social impacts differ between and within countries. Using data collected from 4814 households residing in India's Maharashtra state, we sought to characterize the magnitude of COVID‐19 impacts and the scale of social support or assistance provided to households affected during the onset of the first wave of COVID‐19 in the state of Maharashtra. In the state of Maharashtra, households in urban areas and from socially and economically disadvantaged groups had higher incident rates of experiencing COVID‐19 socioeconomic impacts. The most affected groups also reported receiving more COVID‐19 assistance than less affected groups. Household characteristics such as location, caste, and employment type may influence the rate at which impacts are experienced. Findings from this study suggest that social assistance reached the most affected groups, particularly socioeconomically vulnerable households. 新冠肺炎在全球范围内对经济和社会处境最弱势的群体产生了严重影响。各国之间以及各国内部对新冠肺炎的经济和社会影响的应对措施各不相同。利用从印度马哈拉施特拉邦4,814个家庭处收集的数据,我们试图描述新冠肺炎影响的程度以及在该邦第一波新冠肺炎爆发期间向受影响家庭提供的社会支持或援助的规模。该邦的城市地区家庭和社会经济弱势群体的家庭更有可能遭受新冠肺炎的社会经济影响。受影响最严重的群体还报告称其比受影响较小的群体获得了更多的新冠肺炎援助。家庭特征(例如位置、种姓和就业类型)可能会影响受影响的速度。本研究的结果表明,社会援助惠及了受影响最严重的群体,尤其是社会经济脆弱的家庭。 La COVID‐19 ha afectado de manera desproporcionada a los grupos más desfavorecidos económica y socialmente del mundo. Las respuestas a los impactos económicos y sociales de la COVID‐19 difieren entre los países y dentro de ellos. Utilizando datos recopilados de 4.814 hogares que residen en el estado de Maharashtra, en la India, buscamos caracterizar la magnitud de los impactos de la COVID‐19 y la escala del apoyo o la asistencia social brindada a los hogares afectados durante el inicio de la primera ola de la COVID‐19 en el estado de Maharashtra. En el estado de Maharashtra, los hogares en áreas urbanas y de grupos social y económicamente desfavorecidos tuvieron tasas de incidencia más altas de experimentar impactos socioeconómicos de la COVID‐19. Los grupos más afectados también informaron haber recibido más asistencia por la COVID‐19 que los grupos menos afectados. Las características de los hogares, como la ubicación, la casta y el tipo de empleo, pueden influir en la tasa a la que se experimentan los impactos. Los hallazgos de este estudio sugieren que la asistencia social llegó a los grupos más afectados, en particular a los hogares socioeconómicamente vulnerables.
