Survival strategies of low-income families in the wake of COVID-19 Pandemic

This study's main goal is to learn how COVID-19 affected low-income families and what strategies they
used to survive. The research was quantitative in nature, with data collected from 40 respondents chosen at random.
The data collected from respondents using aadopted questionnaire was evaluated using SPSS. Frequency tables and
tabular formats were used to present the analyzed data. According to the study's findings, the majority of people in
the area are self-employed, and lockdown and COVID-19 cause their revenue to drop. Similar to this, the majority
of responders who worked for the private sector lost their jobs as a result of the covin-19 epidemic, which lowered
their expenses. Additionally, respondents claimed that the pandemic had completely depleted their financial
resources, which left them feeling pessimistic and despondent for the majority of the time. The answers added that
while NGOs and affluent members of the society provided food and clothing to the populace during the pandemic,
the government offers tax relief to the general public. Additionally, some respondents admitted that they had
borrowed money during the Covid-19 outbreak because they couldn't afford to pay their bills and other necessities
while unemployed. Household spending increased as people bought masks, hand sanitizers, and other medications
during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research recommended that during a pandemic, the government, non-
governmental organizations, and affluent sections of society provide food and other requirements.
