Abstract
The COVID-19 is a short-term international emergency with long-term effects. The potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on household welfare in Indonesia can be measured through three channels, namely: the transmission mechanism of health and socio-economic impacts on the population; price pathways that may affect the availability of key commodities, and human resource pathways in the long term. One of the health impacts of transmission to children can be seen by the prevalence of stunting. Stunting is one of the three things that affect the growth of children and more broadly as an indicator of malnutrition problems. A social protection approach for reducing stunting as a result of the pandemic can be carried out by focusing on interventions in the health sector for children under five and pregnant women. Nutritional intervention and complete vaccination are urgently needed in overcoming the long-term impact of family income shock during a pandemic.
