Os impactos da pandemia de covid-19 no brasil: uma perspectiva geral na economia e sociedade brasileira

Abstract

The covid-19 pandemic brought several changes, mainly in the way of life of society and the world economy. The implementation of isolation measures was essential to contain the speed of virus contamination, but this resulted in several consequences that will be described in this study. To this end, the main objective is to report the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic in Brazil. And the specific objectives are: to analyze the history of pandemics that have already emerged in the world until the arrival of covid-19; address how economic activity, unemployment and entrepreneurship were during the pandemic; mention the effects of the pandemic on social inequalities and poverty in Brazil, and; present which economic policies were adopted by the government during the pandemic. It is extremely relevant to address what the Brazilian scenario was like with the arrival of the pandemic, presenting theoretical data that prove the fact. Therefore, exploratory descriptive research with a qualitative approach of the literature review type was adopted as a methodology, using the Scielo and Google Scholar databases by crossing descriptors in Portuguese and English, collecting studies published in the last four years. In conclusion, it should be noted that the pandemic brought several changes to society and especially to the Brazilian economy. Therefore, technological advances played a key role in the evolution of systems, in the way the economy moves, in the interaction between people and mainly in the way of obtaining information. However, it is necessary to review and study in more depth how such a change can affect situations of social inequalities and poverty and how the government can provide assistance to this part of the population that has been severely affected and still struggles to survive.
