Description

Lockdown Social Harm in the Covid-19 Era explores the social consequences of global lockdowns during the pandemic. Drawing on empirical data from around the world, this book examines the hidden harms caused by lockdowns, including joblessness, mental health problems, and increased societal inequalities.

The authors investigate why some people were non-compliant with lockdown restrictions and how vulnerable groups, such as care home residents, prisoners, and migrant workers, were disproportionately affected. The book also delves into the new wealth industries that emerged during this time and their associated harms.

As we move towards a post-Covid world, Lockdown Social Harm in the Covid-19 Era offers insights from cutting-edge social theory to inform our understanding of the future and potential ways forward.
