Impact of European Union Social Policy during Pandemic on Household Income

Abstract

The paper aims to analyse the impact of economic and pandemic crises on household incomes in the context of European social policy. Specific regional socio-economic indicators are analysed for the period 2000-2021. The main objective of this research is to quantify the regional socio-economic aspects and to carry out a comparative analysis related to vulnerabilities due to the economic and pandemic crisis in household incomes. Reported data at European level will be integrated using the panel-data method and national trend differences will be analysed to identify disparities and establish the overall European welfare profile.
