Adaptations of young people in monetary-poor households for surviving and recovering from COVID-19 and associated lockdowns

虽然全球年轻人受2019冠状病毒病健康结果的影响小于年龄较大的群体，但他们受到的影响不成比例，他们的教育（上学和“在线学习”的机会）和家庭/个人生活（例如获得食物、玩耍和休闲的能力以及总体生活安排）受到干扰。这些中断，特别是在货币贫困家庭中，与国家政府在制定COVID-19预防和控制政策方面的重大失败有关，这些政策未能减轻这些政策的有害成本（Gourinchas， 2020年）。鉴于此，2019冠状病毒病对这一年龄组的社会心理后果可能更为严重（Power et al., 2020）。因此，迫切需要了解年轻人在大流行病期间是如何适应的，并评估这种适应过程的更广泛影响。为此，我们采用了一种联系的方法，将重点放在食物、教育和娱乐/休闲上，并将其嵌入对生活环境（当地）和家庭/个人环境（家庭组成和家庭/个人生活）的更广泛理解中。该项目寻求使用行动研究方法，与年轻人、他们所生活的社区以及关注这一年龄组的非政府机构和非营利组织共同创造有关这种适应的知识，并产生更广泛的建议。通过共同创造知识，我们的目标是使我们的数据收集工作与这些组织的当前知识需求保持一致，以支持年轻人采取适应措施，帮助他们应对和从COVID-19中恢复过来，并采取相关的政策应对措施。我们的方法还可以在受政策影响的人（年轻人）和制定和实施政策的人（组织）之间建立一座桥梁。为此，我们将重点放在三个地点的案例研究上：南非中部的曼冈和莫哈卡、英国的西米德兰兹和巴西的<s:1>圣保罗州。

While young people globally have been less impacted by COVID-19 health outcomes than have older age groups, they have been disproportionately affected with disruptions to both their education (access to school and 'online learning') and home/personal life (e.g. access to food, ability to play and have leisure, and overall living arrangements). Those disruptions, particularly in monetary-poor households, are linked to major failures on the part of the national governments to design COVID-19 prevention and containment policies that mitigated the harmful cost of these policies (Gourinchas, 2020). Given this, the psychosocial consequences of COVID-19 are likely to be more severe for this age group (Power et al., 2020). There is therefore a crucial need to understand how young people have adapted during the pandemic and to assess the wider impact of such processes of adaptations. To do so, we adopt a nexus approach, focusing on food, education, and play/leisure embedded within a wider understanding of the living settings (local places) and home/personal contexts (household composition and home/personal life).This project seeks to use an action research methodology to co-create this knowledge about such adaptations and generate wider recommendations, with young people, and the communities in which they live, and non-government bodies and non-profit organisations that focus on this age group. By co-creating knowledge, we aim to align our data collection efforts with these organisations' immediate knowledge needs to support the adaptations employed by young people to help them cope and recover from COVID-19 and associated policy responses. Our approach also allows to create a bridge between those affected by policy (young people) and those drafting and implementing policy (organisations). To do so, we focus on case studies in three locations: Mangaung and Moqhaka in Central South Africa, West Midlands in the UK, and São Paulo state in Brazil.
