ABSTRACT

In this paper, Sweden’s situation in and response to the COVID-19 pandemic is discussed. Through examples of overcrowding and public transport, we argue that the pandemic has revealed, and risks reaffirming, existing aged, gendered, ethnic and socioeconomic inequalities in the housing market, and in relation to mobility and transport. The paper seeks to explore how the large scale and widespread housing segregation in Sweden contributes to the unequal spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. More specifically, we address how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected and continues to affect the mobility of children, young people and families in unequal transport systems.

摘要

本文讨论了瑞典在 COVID-19 大流行中的情况和应对措施。通过过度拥挤和公共交通的例子，我们认为大流行已经揭示了住房市场以及与流动性和交通有关的现有老龄化、性别、种族和社会经济不平等现象，并有可能再次确认这种不平等。该论文旨在探讨瑞典大规模和广泛的住房隔离如何导致 COVID-19 大流行的不平等传播。更具体地说，我们讨论了 COVID-19 大流行如何影响并继续影响不平等交通系统中儿童、年轻人和家庭的流动性。
