虽然新型冠状病毒肺炎对年轻人的健康风险很低，但他们的教育和社交生活受到严重干扰，因此付出了沉重的代价。这些影响在社会和人口群体中并不平等。我们利用一项针对英格兰4,000名年轻人的全国代表性调查的数据，研究了青少年在新冠肺炎大流行中经历的不平等。我们发现，社会经济地位的不平等尤其明显，来自贫困家庭的人在多个方面都处于不利地位，特别是与他们更好的同龄人相比，他们在家庭学习，重返学校和考试取消方面的经历。性别和种族不平等更为复杂，尽管年轻女性报告的幸福分数明显低于男性。这一证据表明，这一流行病加剧了现有的不平等，这意味着关注增加公平和社会流动性的政策制定者现在面临着比以往更大的任务。
While the health risks of Covid-19 for young people are low, they have borne a heavy cost of the pandemic through intense disruption to their education and social lives. These effects have not been experienced equally across social and demographic groups. Using data from a nationally representative survey of 4,000 young people in England linked to their education records, we study inequalities in late adolescents’ experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic. We find particularly stark inequalities by socio-economic status, with those from poorer families facing disadvantage on multiple fronts, particularly in their experiences of home learning, returning to school, and exam cancellations compared to their more advantaged peers. Gender and ethnic inequalities were more mixed, though young females reported significantly lower wellbeing scores than males. This evidence suggests that the pandemic has exacerbated existing inequalities, meaning policymakers concerned with increasing equity and social mobility now face an even bigger task than before.
