The impact of public administration interventions during the Covid-19 pandemic on the quality of life of low-income groups.

The crisis directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic has put many states of the European Communities into recession. The measures that were introduced, on the one hand, were factors affecting labor markets, on the other hand, they had a fundamental impact on the quality of life of low-income groups. We found that the corona crisis and the subsequent economic collapse due to anti-pandemic measures led to a reduction in jobs and salaries, which caused an increase in the low-income population in individual EU countries. It analyzes the development of individual macroeconomic indicators: GDP (in 2020, GDP in the EU fell by 5.9% and in the eurozone by 6.4%), unemployment (disproportionate impact of the pandemic on the unemployment of the younger generation), inflation and their impact on low-income groups. The article examines the processes of public administration at home and abroad during the implementation of interventions in the time of COVID-19 and analyzes the process of changes in society. We identify the relationship between public administration interventions in the pandemic period and the quality of life of low-income citizens. This article is a partial output of the project VEGA 1/0595/21 – Public administration interventions at the time of COVID-19 and their impact on the quality of life of citizens of selected communities.
