本文汇集了来自各种数据来源和最新研究的证据，以描述我们迄今为止所知道的COVID-19危机对生活中几个关键领域的不平等的影响，包括就业和赚钱能力，家庭生活和健康。我们展示了这些新的裂缝如何与现有的不平等沿着各个关键方面相互作用，包括社会经济地位，教育，年龄，性别，种族和地理。我们发现，深层次的不平等和我们已经面临的政策挑战对于理解这一流行病本身的复杂影响和我们的应对措施至关重要，而这场危机本身确实有可能相当直接地加剧这些预先存在的不平等。此外，目前的危机似乎可能会留下长期影响不平等的后遗症。这些可能性并不都是不平等的，但很多都是。
This paper brings together evidence from various data sources and the most recent studies to describe what we know so far about the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on inequalities across several key domains of life, including employment and ability to earn, family life and health. We show how these new fissures interact with existing inequalities along various key dimensions, including socio-economic status, education, age, gender, ethnicity and geography. We find that the deep underlying inequalities and policy challenges that we already had are crucial in understanding the complex impacts of the pandemic itself and our response to it, and that the crisis does in itself have the potential to exacerbate some of these pre-existing inequalities fairly directly. Moreover, it seems likely that the current crisis will leave legacies that will impact inequalities in the long term. These possibilities are not all disequalising, but many are.
