abstract: 'Studying how the pandemic affects the education and work of adolescents
|
|
|
|
is a critical question with long lasting implications for well-being of
|
|
|
|
the next generation, particularly in the developing world. The Covid-19
|
|
|
|
pandemic by mid-March 2020 had led to the closing of most educational
|
|
|
|
institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the region has been
|
|
|
|
one of the worst hit by the pandemic (Sanmarchi et al., 2021). This
|
|
|
|
paper uses the Mexican National Occupation and Employment Survey (ENOE)
|
|
|
|
to provide evidence on the pandemic''s effects on school and work of
|
|
|
|
youth. We measure changes in the time use of adolescents comparing
|
|
|
|
patterns just before the pandemic (January to March 2020) with those at
|
|
|
|
the beginning of the following school year (September 2020), controlling
|
|
|
|
for pre pandemic trends and potential seasonality. Our study finds a
|
|
|
|
sharp reduction in the probability of being engaged in studies during
|
|
|
|
the previous week for youth age 12 to 18 during the pandemic, as well as
|
|
|
|
a reduction of about 30 percent in total hours spent on studies for
|
|
|
|
those who report spending at least one hour on studies in the previous
|
|
|
|
week. Time in work in general shows fewer changes than in time dedicated
|
|
|
|
to studies, with some reductions in the probability of working outside
|
|
|
|
the home for older youth, and a small increase in the number of hours
|
|
|
|
dedicated to work inside the household. Our results overall are
|
|
|
|
suggestive of an important decrease in youth who are engaged with
|
|
|
|
school, who may be at particular risk for abandoning school permanently.
|
|
|
|
It also suggests that even for those who remain engaged, there is a
|
|
|
|
reduction on time spent studying likely to lead to a decrease in
|
|
|
|
learning. Policies to combat potential dropout and negative effects on
|
|
|
|
learning of the pandemic are urgently needed. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All
