Abstract
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly disrupted the global economy. Understanding its impact on various economic, demographic, and social sectors during the economic recovery phase is crucial, particularly for governments that are attempting to implement post-pandemic public policies. This review aims to summarize and analyze post-COVID-19 economic recovery strategies, focusing on prioritized sectors, the demographic groups most affected, and the existing research gaps, particularly in relation to long-term socioeconomic impacts. Studies published between January 2020 and May 2024 that addressed post-pandemic recovery strategies were included in the review.
