By: Anne Cantener Follow

We have seen this since the start of containment, the coronavirus epidemic and the measures imposed to combat it, put a spotlight on inequalities.

Publicity

Inequalities linked to housing, work, the ability to eat well ... We see these inequalities increase with the crisis, we also see the emergence of new categories of people who are vulnerable, precarious ... as we have seen, in recent weeks, new forms of solidarity.

With our guests  :
- Mohamed Mechmache , president of ACLEFEU (Association Collectif Liberté Égalité Fraternité Ensemble Unis) and co-president of the collective Pas Sans Nous (national coordination of working-class neighborhoods)
- Serge Paugam , sociologist, research director at CNRS and Director of Studies at the School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences (EHESS). Author of Le lien social (Presses Universitaires de France 2018) and Living together in an uncertain world (Les Éditions de l'Aube 2017)
