Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on both global health and povertyrelated challenges around the world. In this context, the general objective of the research is to investigate the increase in poverty during the pandemic period and its socioeconomic influences. And the specific ones are: to analyze the main factors that moved for the increase of poverty during the pandemic, considering both the sad aspects and the emergency events and to evaluate the socioeconomic impacts of the increase of poverty, including the loss of jobs, income reduction, access limited to basic services and social inequality. In addition, socioeconomic impacts occurred from this increase, such as job losses, income reduction, limited access to basic services and social inequality. The results indicated that the majority of the population resisted by poverty during the pandemic was composed of women in a situation of social and financial vulnerability, being below the poverty line. This situation has contributed to the increase in poverty and social inequality. It was also observed that people with a lower level of education were the most impacted by the consequences of the pandemic. It is essential to emphasize the importance of implementing social policies to minimize social inequality, taking into account the needs of the population. The Emergency Aid program played a crucial role in combating poverty, highlighting the Government's responsibility to constantly implement effective social policies. The research emphasizes that it is possible to combat poverty and social inequality through adapted social policies and understanding of the needs of the population
