Abstract

The study aims to ascertain how different levels of society have been influenced by the impact of pandemics over the last many years. The study also determines the societal implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. The integrative literature survey method is adopted to extract the secondary data pertinent to the socio-economic effect of pandemics and COVID-19 on society. Primary data is collected to diagnose the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown on employees (N = 210) working in the Indian organized sector. Findings of the study suggest that pandemics have been a cause of economic slowdown measured with a fall in gross domestic product (GDP) at the macro level. The reduced level of economic activity is found to be negatively related to an individual socio-economic status building their psychological distress. The descriptive analysis of the data reveals that although employees have managed their jobs and finances during COVID-19, they have experienced stress in their lives due to the pandemic. The study assimilates the pandemic effect using inductive reasoning to develop a COVID quadrilateral conceptual framework.

了解大流行对社会的影响,特别关注COVID-19
这项研究旨在确定在过去的许多年里,流行病的影响如何影响了社会的不同阶层。该研究还确定了COVID-19大流行的社会影响。采用综合文献调查法提取与流行病和COVID-19对社会的社会经济影响相关的次要数据。收集主要数据以诊断COVID-19大流行和封锁对在印度有组织部门工作的员工(N = 210)的影响。这项研究的结果表明,流行病是经济放缓的一个原因,以宏观层面的国内生产总值(GDP)下降来衡量。研究发现,经济活动水平的降低与个人的社会经济地位形成的心理困扰呈负相关。对数据的描述性分析表明,尽管员工在COVID-19期间管理了他们的工作和财务,但由于大流行,他们在生活中经历了压力。本研究利用归纳推理方法吸收大流行效应,建立了COVID四边形概念框架。
