The COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed profound social and economic effects, leaving an indelible mark on societies worldwide. Socially, the crisis has exacerbated existing inequalities, disproportionately impacting vulnerable communities and widening the gap between socio-economic strata. Lockdowns, social distancing measures, and the shift to remote work have altered the fabric of daily life, prompting reflections on issues ranging from mental health strains to the digital divide. Economically, the pandemic has triggered widespread job losses, business closures, and disruptions to global supply chains, resulting in economic recessions and financial hardship for individuals and businesses alike. The challenges in the COVID-19 context extend beyond immediate concerns, encompassing the daunting tasks of rebuilding economies, addressing structural weaknesses, and fostering resilience in the face of ongoing uncertainties. In this context, evidence that shows the impact of the pandemic and the effects in the subsequent period is relevant to guide policies and new economic and social relations.
