Covid-19, Inequality and Older People confronts the hegemonic biomedical narrative of the COVID-19 pandemic and takes a longitudinal and sociological lens on older people living through the lockdown in the Greater Manchester metropolitan area. The book employs a lifecourse and community-based perspective to show what the social and cultural implications of the COVID measures have been for older persons in their communities, whilst also demonstrating how the lockdown exacerbated already-existing inequalities. The book consists of ten chapters, comprising an introduction, a theoretical and a methodological chapter, four in-depth chapters, a discussion chapter, a recommendations chapter and a conclusion.
