This book examines the unprecedented hardships and strain that people’s social and economic life experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The book gives readers a peek into the feelings of losing a loved one, going without food, going through psychological anguish, having movement and social life restricted, seeing changes in international relations, and experiencing the pandemic’s effects on both large and small businesses. It emphasizes the significant changes that have occurred inside communities and shows how politics, power relationships, and sociocultural institutions have recently reset and recovered. The volume also provides recommendations for mitigating the financial problems the pandemic has brought about, particularly for the impoverished and marginalized, as well as legislative adjustments to support governments and communities in creating more robust support networks and economic and health infrastructure.

This book is a must-read for academics and students in the fields of public health, social sciences, health economics, healthcare administration, development studies, public policy, and South Asian studies because of its multidisciplinary contributions.
