Description
On behalf of the Ministry of VWS, RIVM carries out a research program on COVID-19. The 'COMPLEX' research into health differences and COVID-19 is part of theme 17 (Health economics) within this programme. RIVM aims in the 'COMPLEX' research to unravel complex health differences in the magnitude and nature of the impact of COVID-19 (Polder et al., 2021). Previous studies show that certain socio-economic groups, in particular less educated people, be more affected by differences in a) exposure; b) vulnerability; c) consequences for health and d) social consequences of the Corona crisis than people with a higher education (Bambra et al., 2020; RIVM, 2020). so have people with a low socioeconomic status (SES) more likely to have chronic diseases than people with a high SES, which means they have a higher chance of a more serious illness due to COVID-19. Their job is also often insecure and they have fewer opportunities to work from home, which makes them less experience psychological and mental health than people with a high SES (RIVM, 2020). Because these differences are complex in nature, an integral
