A Year Like No Other: Life on a Low Income During Covid-19 Patrick Ruth
Money was already tight for UK families living on a low income before the COVID-19 pandemic, but national lockdowns made life much harder. Drawing on the Covid Realities research programme, and developed in partnership with parents and carers, it explores experiences of home-schooling, social security receipt and government, community and charitable support. Telling the stories of these families, this book exposes the ways that pre-existing inequalities, insecurities and hardships were amplified during the pandemic for families who were already in poverty before COVID-19, as well as those pushed into poverty by the economic fallout it created.
