Abstract EN

The paper aims to assess the financial preparedness of Algerian households who lost their income during COVID-19 lockdown.

Data consisted of 3926 households surveyed across the 48 provinces of Algeria.

Results have shown that 37.

5% of households were caught completely off-guard, and were completely unprepared.

56.

3% of households were lacking preparedness and would thus feel the financial stress with each additional day into the lockdown.

Only 6.

2% of households were fully prepared for an income loss and would be able to survive the lockdown without their main income source and without having to borrow money or ask for help from others.

Abstract FRE

L’article évalue la préparation financière des ménages algériens qui ont perdu leurs revenus pendant la période de confinement liée à la COVID-19.

Les données comprenaient 3926 ménages enquêtés à travers les 48 wilayas d'Algérie.

Les résultats montraient que 37,5% des ménages ont été pris au dépourvu et n'étaient pas préparés du tout.

56,3% des ménages manquaient de préparation et ressentiraient ainsi le stress financier avec chaque jour supplémentaire de confinement.

Seuls 6,2% des ménages étaient pleinement préparés à une perte de revenu et pourraient survivre sans leurs revenus et sans avoir à emprunter de l'argent ou à demander de l'aide à autrui.
