Families In Exceptional Condition

The corona pandemic has fundamentally changed the lives of all families. Supervision, lessons, leisure activities, supply, advice, games and much more take place predominantly at home. At the same time, mothers and fathers have to meet the demands of their job. In many cases, there are also financial worries due to short-time work. Quite a few families feel isolated and left alone in their troubles. The educational scientists Prof. Dr. Sabine Andresen and Johanna Wilmes from the Institute for Social Pedagogy and Adult Education are investigating: what specific effects does the corona pandemic have on everyday family life, on upbringing and care. She also wants to clarify in which areas mothers, fathers and their children need effective support. "With our study, we are also aiming to find out what burdens low-income families are currently facing in managing their everyday family lives."
