Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is unique in that it exerts widespread and severe impacts on daily life without a predictable end date and presents a complex combination of stressors; yet, it has affected children around the world differently depending on the economic level of those children. Children in developed countries may have faced greater mental health challenges, but those from poverty-stricken nations not only felt the loss of their educational opportunities, but also extremely limited healthcare to aid those infected with Covid-19.
