Covid-19: Pro Juventute Report: Impact of the Covid 19 Pandemic on Children, Adolescents and their Families in Switzerland

The Pro Juventute Corona report shows how the Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanying circumstances are having a far-reaching impact on the health, well-being and development of young people in Switzerland. Although the medium and long-term consequences of the corona crisis cannot yet be precisely assessed, it is already clear that children and young people in Switzerland are also under great stress and that pre-existing problems and inequalities are being accentuated. The report is a research overview of the studies and investigations available for Switzerland up to June 2021 with a focus on the effects on the mental health of young people. It is a nationwide report, which in this respect ensures representativeness for the language regions (or individual cantons).
