Hope you are all safe and healthy during this pandemic situation. The emergence of this COVID-19 pandemic has pushed every individual in the family to a troublesome situation. Every individual in the family is worried about the future concerns of their family due to this pandemic situation which includes any of the following

 Individual’s job security

Every individual who is working in either private or government organizations is concerned about their job security. People working in private organizations are facing troubles like complete lay off from work for no reason, Non-remittance of salary, etc. But people working in the government organizations have less worries about their job security since their job is confirmed but they may face some reductions in their monthly salary.

If an individual is running a self owned business, he also faces troubles in running the business full-fledged during this pandemic. Due to many reasons depending on the type of business, they are not able to generate adequate income.

The most affected individuals in this situation are the people who are working for daily wages. They are not able to find jobs during this lock down period which leaves them with a lot of concerns regarding their present as well as future. They struggle for their daily survival.

Education of children

Every family has children studying in schools and colleges. The education of children is one of the main concerns of every individual during this pandemic. Due to lock down extensions, the schools and colleges have completely transformed the mode to teaching to digital. Children are in a situation to undergo their studies through online classes. During the initial days of introduction to the digital education, they were trained to practice working with the use of online tools for education and as days move on, they got accustomed to this online education mechanism.

These children face issues like unavailability of network, lack of electronic gadgets, lack of support from illiterate parents and many more. The middle and the lower class people are the most affected due to these scenarios. These issues should be considered by the government.

Family monthly expenses

Every family has a regular monthly expense to run their family, which includes

• House rent
• Electricity bills
• Telephone bills
• Purchase of groceries and other items
• Medical expenses
• Children education expenses
• Monthly EMI’s which may be car loans, housing loans, educational loans, etc

Due to the complete lock down, every individual is in a struggle to meet these expenses. In addition to this, some individuals may be having some dependents like parents/siblings in the family. Individuals face trouble in managing these overall expenses in this pandemic situation.

Savings

Every individual who is working and running a family will have his own savings done in a monthly basis. Due to the lock down, the individual is able to generate only less income which affects his regular savings that secures his/her future.

Some stress relieving exercises can be done to come out of this kind of problems.
