Initially, a historical review of the construction of the concept of human dignity is presented. Afterwards, the historical spectrum, concern for poverty and unemployment in Brazil were discussed. Finally, a study was carried out on the pandemic caused by COVID-19 in Brazil, and on actions taken by the federal government in order to contain the impacts on social inequality and unemployment. The purpose of this article is to answer the following question: “Has the government adopted measures that have made it possible to reduce the impact on social inequality and unemployment in the context of the pandemic caused by COVID-19?”.

After an investigation, it was found that although the government has presented effective acts in combating the pandemic caused by COVID-19 in Brazil between the years 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, the scope for reducing social inequality and unemployment be shy, given the situations that converged to such a result.
