This report discusses the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of low- and middle-income (LMI) people in Bangladesh toward COVID-19 and its impact on their lives. It also provides recommendations for policymakers to design suitable interventions that can help the LMI segment recover from the pandemic.

This report is based on MSC’s second round of research on the recovery of low- and middle-income (LMI) segments in Bangladesh from the COVID-19 pandemic. The report of the first round of the study is available here. Based on the survey of 97 low- and moderate-income households in Bangladesh, this report examines the effects of the pandemic on their lives and seeks to understand their perspective. It also contains case studies, recommendations, challenges, concerns, and opportunities for the LMI community in these trying times.
