This chapter provides an overview of the COVID-19 pandemic, its socio-economic impacts, and policy responses in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Vietnam (collectively referred to as CLMV). It presents how the pandemic affected key sectors and heightened existing vulnerabilities, particularly among women, migrant workers, and those in the informal sector. While the impacts varied across countries, common challenges emerged. This introductory chapter sets the stage and provides the rationale for the subsequent in-depth explorations of the socio-economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic across CLMV countries.
