Summary:

This research investigates how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted people’s mental health and financial situation, and how this differs among different groups of the UK population.

This research aims to identify who has felt the deepest and the longest-lasting impact on their financial situation and their mental health from the COVID-19 pandemic, and how these two impacts are related. By using data collected both before and since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, NatCen is investigating who was hit the hardest by the initial shock to the UK economy and the lockdown restrictions introduced, and how they have recovered since then.
