COVID-19 has made us more averse to both income and health inequalities.

Evidence from Italy, Germany, and the UK shows high levels of inequality aversion – a dislike for inequality and a preference for fairness – in both income and health, explain Miqdad Asaria, Joan Costa-Font, and Frank Cowell. In the UK in particular they find that people are more inequality averse especially to health but that the effect is stronger among those not directly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
