摘要

利用我们现有的印度两个城市6721个贫民窟家庭的数据集,我们在2020年7月至11月期间就新冠肺炎的影响与40个不同贫民窟的三名关键信息员进行了六轮后续电话采访。这些城市显示出新冠肺炎第一波大流行病对健康的影响截然不同——巴特那没有死亡和几乎没有疾病报告,而班加罗尔有广泛的低强度疾病和聚集性死亡。我们没有发现疫情与城市或社区特征之间的联系有明确的模式。然而,这两个城市的生计影响都是毁灭性的。除了少数贫民窟居民外,其他人都失去了几个月的工作,通过削减必需品、发放贷款、清算资产和向邻居寻求帮助来生存。在封锁初期慷慨的政府援助迅速减少。许多人可能会变得长期贫困。

A threat to life and livelihoods: examining the effects of the first wave of COVID-19 on health and wellbeing in Bengaluru and Patna slums
Taking advantage of our existing dataset of 6,721 slum households in two Indian cities, we undertook six rounds of follow-up phone interviews on the impact of COVID-19 between July and November 2020 with three key informants in each of 40 diverse slums. These cities showed contrasting health effects resulting from the first major wave of the COVID-19 pandemic – no deaths and nearly no illnesses were reported in Patna, while there was widespread low-intensity sickness and a cluster of deaths in Bengaluru. We found no clear pattern in the links between outbreaks and city or neighbourhood characteristics. Livelihood effects, however, were devastating across both cities. All but a few slum dwellers lost their jobs for several months and survived by cutting back on essentials, incurring loans, liquidating assets, and seeking help from neighbours. Government assistance, generous in the early part of the lockdown, dwindled rapidly. Many will likely become chronically poor.

期刊介绍: Environment and Urbanization aims to provide an effective means for the exchange of research findings, ideas and information in the fields of human settlements and environment among researchers, activists and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in low- and middle-income nations and between these and researchers, international agency staff, students and teachers in high-income nations. Most of the papers it publishes are written by authors from Africa, Asia and Latin America. Papers may be submitted in French, Spanish or Portuguese, as well as English - and if accepted for publication, the journal arranges for their translation into English. The journal is also unusual in the proportion of its papers that are written by practitioners.
