Abstract

ABSTRACT Like most governments around the world, the South African government adopted a uniform, place-blind response to the coronavirus pandemic, including a hard lockdown. New evidence from a large household survey reveals that the socioeconomic effects have widened pre-existing inequalities between cities and rural areas. More could be done to complement national relief programmes with targeted efforts to boost jobs and livelihoods in the most vulnerable areas. In addition, the premature withdrawal of relief measures before the economy has recovered would aggravate the hardship in poorer communities that have come to rely on these resources following the jobs slump.
COVID-19加剧了城乡不平等:来自南非的证据
摘要与世界上大多数国家的政府一样,南非政府对新冠肺炎疫情采取了统一、盲目的应对措施,包括严格封锁。一项大型家庭调查的新证据表明,社会经济影响扩大了城市和农村之间原有的不平等。可以做更多的工作来补充国家救济方案,有针对性地努力增加最脆弱地区的就业和生计。此外,在经济复苏之前过早撤回救济措施,将加剧贫困社区的困难,这些社区在就业衰退后开始依赖这些资源。
