abstract: 'Objective: This chapter introduces the reader to the Special Issue
|
|
|
|
``Family Lives during the COVID-19 Pandemic in European Societies{''''}.
|
|
|
|
Background: This Special Issue analyses how families, parents, and
|
|
|
|
children have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and how they have
|
|
|
|
been coping with its related challenges in different societal contexts.
|
|
|
|
Method: The studies collected in this Special Issue are based on
|
|
|
|
qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches and data that
|
|
|
|
have been gathered during 2020 in a range of European countries. It
|
|
|
|
covers the first lockdown period, the reopening phases, and the months
|
|
|
|
thereafter.
|
|
|
|
Results: The 20 contributions of this Special Issue show that families
|
|
|
|
shouldered large responsibilities during the pandemic. While the
|
|
|
|
pandemic did not lead to radical shifts in gendered care patterns,
|
|
|
|
mothers and fathers experienced the pandemic differently, with mothers
|
|
|
|
reporting higher levels of stress. Moreover, there was great
|
|
|
|
heterogeneity in how different types of families and children were
|
|
|
|
affected by the pandemic. Single parents and parents and children in
|
|
|
|
low-income households were most strongly affected in their social and
|
|
|
|
economic wellbeing. Social and economic distress are strongly
|
|
|
|
interwoven, and the developments during the pandemic aggravated existing
|
|
|
|
social disparities.
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: This Special Issue underlines the importance of the family
|
|
|
|
for the functioning of societies during times of crisis. It also shows
|
|
|
|
that policy makers often adopted a too narrow view of what constitutes a
|
|
|
|
family and did not adequately address family diversity in their decision
|
|
|
|
making. This Special Issue furthermore emphasized that there is a danger
|
|
|
|
that the pandemic will increase disparities between families. Thus,
|
|
|
|
parents and their children need adequate support measures that are
|
|
|
|
tailored to their needs, and that are designed to alleviate these
|
|
|
|
social, economic and educational disparities.'
