Description du projet
Des recherches pour optimiser les futures mesures de contrôle épidémique
La pandémie de COVID-19 a transformé nos vies et a apporté son lot de conséquences indésirables. Par exemple, les règles et les politiques mises en œuvres pour aider à juguler la diffusion du virus ont entraîné une profonde récession économique. En outre, les contacts sociaux et les interactions ont été interrompues, et les personnes éprouvent des réticences à se rendre dans des centres de soins de santé. À cet égard, le projet SHARE-COVID19, financé par l’UE, a adopté une approche comparative transdisciplinaire et internationale pour exploiter les sources de données des infrastructures de recherche de SHARE. L’objectif est de formuler des recommandations qui rendront les sociétés européennes plus résilientes, permettront de protéger efficacement la population la plus vulnérable âgée de 50 ans et plus, et optimiseront les futures mesures de contrôle épidémique.
Objectif
The non-intended consequences of the epidemic control decisions to contain the COVID-19 pandemic are huge and affect the well-being of European citizens in terms of economics, social relationships and health: Europe is experiencing the largest recession since WWII; social contacts have been interrupted; people avoid seeking medical treatment in fear of infection.
The overarching objective of this project is to understand these non-intended consequences and to devise improved health, economic and social policies. In our policy recommendations, we strive to make healthcare systems and societies in the EU more resilient to pandemics in terms of prevention, protection and treatment of the population 50+, a most vulnerable part of the population.
The project aims to identify healthcare inequalities before, during and after the pandemic; to understand the lockdown effects on health and health behaviours; to analyse labour market implications of the lockdown; to assess the impacts of pandemic and lockdown on income and wealth inequality; to mitigate the effects of epidemic control decisions on social relationships; to optimise future epidemic control measures by taking the geographical patterns of the disease and their relationship with social patterns into account; and to better manage housing and living arrangements choices between independence, co-residence or institutionalisation.
The project pursues a transdisciplinary and internationally comparative approach by exploiting the data sources of the SHARE research infrastructure. It covers all EU MS. The project’s team represents medicine, public health, economics and sociology and has worked together since the creation of SHARE. It is experienced in translating data analysis into concrete policy advice. The project’s policy recommendation are targeted at policy makers in the Commission and in national ministries as well as at national and international NGOs and social organisations.
