This research employs a cross-sectional design and a quantitative descriptive technique. Data is collected via a Google form, and then bivariate data with The chi-square test.  Study whow with the chi-square test revealed a link between deteriorating family income and the family's ability to meet daily demands (p0001). According to the findings of this study, families with a loss in family income were 6,178 times less likely to be able to meet daily demands than families who did not have a fall in family income. The COVID-19 epidemic has been shown to have an impact on family members' ability to meet their basic needs, particularly when family income falls.
