Understanding the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic for households' welfare in regions subject to fragility, conflict, and violence (FCV) is important to inform programs and policies in this context. Harmonized data from high-frequency phone surveys indicates that, at the onset of the pandemic, a higher fraction of respondents in FCV regions relative to non-FCV ones faced adverse household income changes and reported to have stopped working since the outbreak of the crisis. On top of that, households in FCV regions were far less likely to have received government assistance than those in non-FCV regions. These findings suggest that, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a widening of the preexisting economic gap between FCV and non-FCV regions, raising the recovery bar for the former.

COVID-19 对脆弱和受冲突影响地区的福利影响

了解 COVID-19 大流行对脆弱、冲突和暴力 (FCV) 地区家庭福利的影响对于为这方面的计划和政策提供信息非常重要。高频电话调查的统一数据表明，在大流行开始时，与非 FCV 地区相比，FCV 地区的受访者比例较高，面临家庭收入的不利变化，并据报告自危机爆发以来已停止工作。最重要的是，FCV 地区的家庭获得政府援助的可能性远低于非 FCV 地区的家庭。这些发现表明，在 COVID-19 大流行之初，FCV 和非 FCV 地区之间先前存在的经济差距不断扩大，从而提高了前者的复苏门槛。
