The COVID-19 pandemic had a range of immediate consequences for children and young people. To investigate the long-term consequences, NordForsk has decided to fund eight research projects on welfare among children and young people in the post-pandemic Nordics.
Project aiming to improve our understanding of the welfare for children and young people and the consequences of the pandemic and the restrictions on education, wellbeing, mental health, and living conditions.
Project aiming to build solid knowledge to optimize future societal responses and promote resilience in the young population, focusing on eating problems and disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, selfharm, depression, anxiety and wellbeing.
The EXPECT project aims to deepen knowledge about the experiences and consequences of COVID- 19 to prepare Nordic preschools in maintaining social sustainability for future pandemics or crises.
Project with the aim to improve understanding of mental health, life satisfaction, and services received among youth with disabilities in the Nordic countries during the post-pandemic period.
Multidisciplinary project with the aim of producing new scientific knowledge on the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on child wellbeing and identifies policy options to enhance child-wellbeing and resilience in Nordic countries.
