The Socio-Economic Impact and Implications of Covid-19 in Bangladesh: A Sociological Study According to Sociological Theories and Social Determinants

The whole economic, social, medical, educational systems of the world suddenly meet such an epidemic that is unexpected to all. The COVID-19 pandemic halted all the development progresses of our society, particularly the health system of less developed countries severely hampered by this global disease. Besides, a significant number of people are suffering from mental agony due to financial crisis and some people trying to attempt suicide. In the context of Bangladesh, people are more vulnerable because we have limited resources to mitigate such an unpredictable epidemic. A large number of people lost their jobs and a huge number of people died due to inadequate medical facilities; students were deprived of their education because they did not attend the class or exam. Moreover, this pandemic created new unemployed and poor people who had a secure life before this pandemic. We can analyze it according to some theories to understand the situation properly. In this paper, we focus on the plight of people in Bangladesh and discuss the social determinants that are related to the pandemic.
