Um den sozialen Auswirkungen von Covid-19 entgegenzuwirken, hat die EU mehr finanzielle Unterstützung geleistet als je zuvor. Viele Menschen in der EU, insbesondere schutzbedürftige Menschen, hatten in der Pandemie einen eingeschränkten Zugang zu Gesundheitsversorgung, Kinderbetreuung, Bildung und zum Internet. Dies hat zu Übersterblichkeit, Armut, Arbeitslosigkeit und sozialer Ausgrenzung geführt. Der FRA-Grundrechtebericht 2022 beschreibt die weitreichenden Auswirkungen der Pandemie auf die sozialen Rechte. Zudem präsentiert er Vorschläge, wie die zunehmenden Ungleichheiten und Bedrohungen für den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt angegangen werden können.
