Inequality viewed through the mirror of COVID-19 ( <i>La desigualdad ante el espejo del COVID-19</i> )
Rosa Rodríguez‐Bailón
Abstract
The health crisis caused by the spread of COVID-19 will deepen the economic inequality already found in most countries. Among other effects, it will increase the health, educational and labour gap among citizens. Taking into account the psychosocial effects of economic inequality can be useful when proposing actions aimed at reducing its negative effects.
