Funding Information: The economic strain has reached families very quickly. In April, almost 400 thousand individuals registered to receive unemployment benefits, a 22% increase vis‐à‐vis April 2019. , a poll center run by two Social Sciences' research units in Lisbon, reported, in the beginning of May, that 81% of the families felt “very worried” or “worried” about their financial situation, with a higher incidence among the least educated and lower income individuals.
