The Widening Gap: Examining COVID-19's Impact on Inequality in Barcelona's Poorest Districts
The coronavirus pandemic has had a devastating impact across the world, with the most vulnerable communities feeling the effects of the crisis most profoundly. This is particularly true in Barcelona, Spain, where a study has revealed the stark inequality between the city’s poorest and wealthiest districts.
The study, conducted by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, looked at the mortality rates in the city’s different districts during the pandemic. The results showed that the mortality rate in the city’s poorest districts was nearly double that of the wealthiest. This highlights the devastating impact of the pandemic on the city’s most vulnerable communities, and the need for targeted support and resources to help these communities cope with the crisis.
