Population dynamics and demography of Covid-19. Introduction

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Since its early debut in Wuhan, China, during winter 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has devastated human communities all over the world as a global hurricane (Horton, 2021 ; Lupton & Willis, 2021 ). Its dramatic impacts on health, on the population, on the economy and on the society as a whole have suddenly put us in touch with tragedies, as the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic and the Great 1929 recession, that we were used to consider as belonging to our history only, especially in western countries (Livi-Bacci, 2017 , 2021 ).
