商品描述

This book brings together contributions that explore various dimensions of the pandemic from a long-term development perspective. It also analyzes the existing policy responses and the gaps therein, to enable a greater understanding of how public policy - during a pandemic like COVID-19 - can be better aligned with the developmental challenges faced by individuals and households in India. Through its thirteen contributions, the book highlights the connection between the pandemic and development as deep and multilayered, and not unidirectional. It highlights how the existing inequalities and inequities in the system determined who gets impacted and to what extent, and how soon they can recover, if at all. It analyzes policies and programmes that have been implemented based mostly on the immediate pandemic crisis, and responded less to the pre-existing conditions that have shaped socio-economic outcomes. The book would be a great resource to study possible future responses to similar health disasters in a multi-cultural, multi-religion, multi-caste and multi-class melting pot like India.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書匯集了多位作者的貢獻,從長期發展的角度探討疫情的各個面向。它還分析了現有的政策反應及其存在的缺口,以便更深入地理解在像 COVID-19 這樣的疫情期間,公共政策如何能更好地與印度個人和家庭面臨的發展挑戰相對應。透過十三篇貢獻,該書強調疫情與發展之間的聯繫是深刻且多層次的,而非單向的。它突顯了系統中現有的不平等和不公正如何決定了誰受到影響及其程度,以及他們能多快恢復(如果能恢復的話)。本書分析了主要基於即時疫情危機而實施的政策和計劃,並對塑造社會經濟結果的先前條件反應較少。本書將成為研究在像印度這樣的多元文化、多宗教、多種姓和多階級熔爐中,對類似健康災難的未來可能反應的重要資源。
