About this book
The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has made the annual Social Policy Review even more critical than before.

Expert contributors address important issues including foodbanks, caring for older family members, lockdowns around the globe, gender, technology and migration during a pandemic. Published in association with the Social Policy Association, this annual review is fundamental reading for students and academics in social policy, social welfare and related disciplines.
