Abstract

This study will survey the parents and children of the Bonn Family Panel about their behavior and experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic. The children's survey will contain a module on cognitive and non-cognitive skill development as well as a module on information literacy, i.e. the proneness of children to fake news. The parental questionnaire will additionally contain modules on labor market experiences during the pandemic. The survey data will be used in combination with the original RCT to analyze in how far the mentoring intervention has led to higher resilience during the crisis.
