"The Covid-19 pandemic has had far reaching social and economic consequences that are almost certainly greater in magnitude than earlier disruptive events such as the financial crisis of 2008 and the fall of the former Soviet block which dot our collective memory. This book is a timely look into the economic and social impact of the pandemic in the Indian context which also includes some forward looking analysis."- Sumon Bhaumik, Chair in Finance at the University of Sheffield, UK and Research Fellow at IZA - Institue of Labor Economics, Bonn, Germany"Including in-depth studies on the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on health, economy, education, jobs, gender- relations and society, this timely book is greatly welcomed for its uniquely exhaustive and contemporary analysis of the crisis in India, the complex transformations underway, their implications for the future, and related policy challenges." - Sukti Dasgupta, Chief, Employment and Labour Market Policies, International Labour Organization (ILO), Geneva"The carefully curated set of articles in this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the socio-economic impact of the pandemic. The chapters written by leading field experts do a deep dive into many of the pandemic related questions the world is grappling with. It is a must have for both researchers and policymakers.”- Chetan Subramanian, Professor in Economics & Social Sciences & Dean, IIM Bangalore Chair of Excellence, IIM Bangalore
