We are working on the social consequences of COVID-19. In this framework, we have to produce an analysis of the socio-economic impacts of the crisis at the regional/local level. I would like to know if you have produced data at the regional level (if possible at the infra-regional level) for 2020 and 2021 for the (i) number of beneficiaries of different social aids and for the (ii) share of population at risk of poverty If you see any other data that might be of interest in measuring the social impacts of the crisis, please let us know. I know that some ministries produce local data, but the national statistical institute does not necessarily compile them. Thank you in advance for your response and cooperation! I have attached a letter supporting our approach.

The study also explores the policy response of European regions and cities to COVID-19, examining to what extent the crisis provided policymakers with an opportunity to develop new policy ideas in relation to the just, green, and smart transition. I would very much appreciate if you could support our project and help facilitate the work of the research contractors when they contact you with regards to data collection. Your support would be particularly beneficial as one of the overall aims of the project is to provide specific and reliable EU-wide datasets in order to identify the main challenges caused by the pandemic in the social field, and build regional resilience for future crises of this nature.
