Call for Papers – GENUS Thematic Series on The Demography of COVID-19
Posted: 5/26/2020 (Conference)
The first wave – likely not the unique – of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is ravaging the planet from a few months only and yet, in order to describe its dramatic demographic and socio-economic impact, the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic and the Great 1929 recession have been already evoked. Although the ultimate outcomes of the Covid-19 pandemic depend still on a wide number of unknowns, yet it is becoming clear that its consequences were largely modulated by a number of existing inequality gradients. And in turn, these gradients might dramatically worsen for long time in the future as a consequence of the pandemic. Assessments of these phenomena and the underlying causes, as well as the direct and indirect implications of current and future control measures, is critical for driving the world population out of the crisis.
This Genus Thematic Series aims to offer an updated examination of the key population dynamics and demographic and socio-economic implications of the Covid-19 pandemic – and of policies to face it – at a range of geographic, socio-economic, socio-demographic, and temporal scales.
