Abstract

Using household survey data, we empirically analyze the relationship between the diversity of Tunisians' adaptive strategies in facing the post-COVID economic crisis and social stratification. The results show that only the upper middle classes and wealthier categories, as well as a minority of the lower middle classes, benefit from institutionalized social protection mechanisms. Part of the lower and intermediate middle classes adopt informal socialized arrangements. The working classes and some members of the intermediate middle classes combine individualized mechanisms while the most vulnerable people are left empty-handed.
