Household debt and asset sale during pandemic India 2020, by food recovery status
A survey conducted in India in 2020, reported that 18 percent of households whose food intake had reduced during the pandemic and made no recovery had to take a loan and and sell their assets. Among the households without assets and whose food intake did not recover, almost 10 percent were obliged to take a loan. Thus, the figures signified an inverse relationship between food intake recovery and the likelihood of borrowing or selling among Indian households since the lockdown.
