NordForsk has funded three new projects, building on insights from the previous call Welfare among Children and Young People in the Post-Pandemic Nordics. All projects aim to deepen our understanding of young people’s wellbeing and to address key knowledge gaps identified in previous research.
If you ask young people whether they worry most about climate change, natural disasters, a new pandemic or war, the answer is climate change. But almost 75 percent worry little or not at all about any of the four scenarios, according to Nordic research.
We are living in a time of multiple crises, and now researchers want to investigate the resilience of Nordic families with children. If families with children are doing well, it strengthens the resilience of society, according to the researchers.
Cancer in children is very rare, but it is still the disease that causes the most deaths in children older than one year. A Nordic research network is ensuring that children with cancer can access personalised treatment in neighbouring countries.
Students with disabilities reported school burnout more often than those without disabilities. Those with several disabilities were the most vulnerable, particularly girls, concludes Nordic researcher.
We pride ourselves on a Nordic school model where everyone has equal access to education, but that was not necessarily the case for all students when the pandemic was upon us, new research suggests.
