Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh tells us that economic activities and alternative livelihoods have been disturbed. There are challenges in the areas of equitable distribution of resources and providing economic support to the disadvantaged groups (cash and kind support, food supports, social safety net). This research explores the short term livelihood coping strategies to respond to and recover from COVID-19 with a special focus on socio-demography, socio-economy, food security, and health aspect. As the crisis develops, future rounds of representative monitoring data on the same respondents will help us understand the evolving impacts and potential recovery.
