Solidarity in Response to the Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a severe blow around the world to all spheres of life that affect the well-being of society, including the economic and social development. For example, according to a report by the Caritas-Italy Foundation on October 16, 2021, the number of people living outside poverty in Italy has increased by 1 million since the beginning of the pandemic. According to the United Nations, more than 114 million jobs were lost during the pandemic, and an additional 120 million people found themselves below the poverty line. In total, according to the UN, almost 16 trillion dollars have been allocated as a means of stimulating the economy. However, the UN also emphasizes that the pandemic has increased inequality in the world, and worsened the situation of people from vulnerable groups around the world.
