The pandemics bring challenges for human beings throughout human history. Current COVID-19 pandemic also has a devastating
impact on the economy, health, and education across the globe. The prolonged lockdowns have led the institutions to change modes
of working. Educational institutions also have shifted to online classes. This whole episode has produced psychological problems in
populations of pandemic hit countries. Anxiety which already has unequal prevalence due to inequality in different sections of
societies is found to be exhibited at higher levels in different sections of societies. In this backdrop, the current study investigates
the role of socioeconomic class in the prevalence of COVID-19 anxiety in the students from different universities of southern Punjab,
Pakistan. The results indicate that students having lower socioeconomic background have higher COVID-19 anxiety than students
from upper lower, lower-middle, and upper-middle socioeconomic backgrounds. The study recommends the establishment of the
institutions in the universities to help the students to cope with the anxiety problem.
