Arranging Everyday Life and Livelihood During the COVID-19 Epidemic
This project examines the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic on families with children in terms of arranging everyday life, livelihood, and balancing work and family. We used an open invitation to collect writings from parents and adolescents over the age of 15. The writings collected between 7 May 2020 and 31 May 2020 described everyday life during the epidemic. The data are used for studying what types of problems the epidemic has caused in different families in terms of livelihood, work-life balance, distance learning, and organising the care of children under school age. Because of the crisis caused by the coronavirus, families have faced new types of risks the current social security system is unable to tackle.
