Covid-19 and its influence on life content

Education and Training

• 
  Will the pandemic increase SES differences in children’s education?
  

As students have switched to home school or virtual schooling, the effects of SES can become stronger as some students have access to better resources, i.e. faster internet, a personal tablet or laptop, space at home to concentrate. When parents work from home, they are able to better monitor and assist students with school work.

• 
  If students delay their transition to the labour market or higher education, what could be the effect?
  

Delays in the transition from school to work may also mean larger cohorts graduating and looking for jobs and homes at the same time. This could create a situation similar to a baby boom. It would increase competition with those who were already trying to do these things when the pandemic began.
