The COVID-19 pandemic has wrought unparalleled disruption, altering the landscape of health and well-being for a generation. The Lost Generation of COVID-19 unveils the ways in which the crisis has deepened existing health disparities, casting a long shadow over young people’s futures.

Set against the backdrop of austerity-induced cuts to UK public services, this book explores the social determinants of health, revealing how systemic neglect has been exacerbated by the pandemic’s relentless pressure. The analysis extends beyond individual hardships, illuminating the broader societal ramifications such as economic stagnation and social fragmentation. Yet, amidst the bleak landscape, the book offers a visionary perspective on the potential for transformative change. It posits that the pandemic serves as a catalyst for radical societal reform, advocating for a new economic paradigm anchored in equity and fairness. By addressing the root causes of health inequalities through innovative policy interventions and structural reforms, the author envisions a resilient and just society emerging from the shadows of the pandemic.

Insightful and far-reaching, this book is an indispensable resource for students and scholars in the health sciences and political science, as well as for policymakers dedicated to these important issues.
