Question 1: Consider this information from the World Bank (2021) and then answer the question that follows. The past year has been one of the toughest in recent history, due to the harsh health, economic, and social impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. The impacts have been felt everywhere, with no country spared. Yet, they have not been felt the same way by everyone.One of the most unfortunate and potentially most damaging effects of this crisis will only be visible in the longer run: The impacts of the widespread and unprecedented disruption in learning. As schools around the world closed to contain the spread of the virus, a whopping 1.6 billion children saw their education disrupted. The disruptions have been most severe in countries with the lowest Human Capital Index* to begin with, widening the gap with richer countries.* Human Capital Index — a measure of the knowledge, skills, and health that people accumulate over their lives. Human capital is a central driver of sustainable growth and poverty reduction. Using the information provided and your knowledge of characteristics of various income groups, explain why the impacts of COVID-19 ‘have not been felt the same way by everyone’.
