COVID-19 Demography Evidence Summary No.9

Abstract

This is the 9th of a weekly COVID-19 Demography Evidence Summary (DES) to signpost DFID and other UK government departments to the latest relevant evidence and discourse on COVID-19 to inform and support their response. It is a result of 4 hours of work per week and is not intended to be a comprehensive summary of available evidence on COVID-19 but aims to make original documents easily accessible to decision makers which, if relevant to them, they could refer to before making decisions.The scope of DES includes emerging evidence on i) how COVID-19 impacts on demographic indicators, ii) how demographic indicators impact on transmission/spreading and mortality rate, and iii) policy advice on tailoring such responses to account for demographic indicators. This summary covers publications on Academic journal articles and research papers; Policy briefs, statements, tools, guidelines; Comments, Editorials, Opinions, Blogs, News; COVID-19 Data hubs relevant for Demography; and COVID-19 Resource hubs relevant for Demography
