| Summary: | The period of the COVID-19 pandemic will
be marked and remembered. It will certainly be known for the
ongoing health crisis that has reverberated across the
world, leading to significant social impacts, rising
inequality and poverty rates, and the steepest recession in
Europe since World War II. It could, however, also be known
as the trigger for a shift towards policies that will
enhance developmental and environmental outcomes. With
economies at a crossroads, it is up to governments to make
this shift happen. Countries in Europe will need to ensure a
green, resilient and inclusive recovery. This report
explores the impacts of COVID-19 on inclusive growth and
considers the policies that are needed to strengthen
resilience and to ensure that inclusivity is woven into the
fabric of societies. |
