The coronavirus crisis is exposing Britain's existing inequalities - between low and high earners, young and old workers and for ethnic minorities - which could be aggravated without reforms, a leading think tank said on Thursday.

People on low wages are most at risk of losing income and their jobs because of the COVID-19 shutdown, while a gap in death rates between rich and poor neighbourhoods has widened, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said. “Government will need to be on the front foot in laying the groundwork for a strong and inclusive recovery even while still dealing with the immediate crisis,” said IFS deputy director Robert Joyce, who co-wrote the report.

The IFS report saw some upsides from the shutdown, including increased remote working which could help mothers’ careers while fathers spent more time with their children than before.

COVID-19 just the latest epidemic in areas struck by diseaseFor millions who live in poor and troubled regions in the world, the coronavirus is only the latest epidemic. They already face a plethora of infectious diseases made worse by chronic poverty that leads to malnutrition and violence.
