Abstract: The COVID19 pandemic and non-pharmaceutical interventions implemented in response led to a drastic change in the daily lives of the UK population. Understanding how people’s economic, social and health related outcomes evolve is of considerable policy importance, since the pandemic is not only an infectious disease crisis but has widespread economic and social consequences. Using data from five longstanding, nationally representative UK cohorts and a series of embedded bespoke surveys George will present evidence on the social, economic and health impacts of the pandemic in five generations (age 20 – 74) and the lifelong factors that have shaped these. The implications of these findings for post pandemic population health and societal recovery will be discussed.
