Abstract |
The pandemic and Movement Control Order (MCO) put significant pressure on low-income (B40) families in urban areas. Urban B40 families are exposed to the economic and digital impacts of the pandemic. The objective of the study is to examine the relationship between government assistance and the financial well-being of urban B40 families, as well as to assess the relationship between government assistance and the digital well-being of urban B40 families. The pandemic and MCO have had a profound effect on urban B40 families. Immediate action is needed to ensure their financial and digital well-being. |
