In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the team established the revised research programme ‘Listening to Young Lives at Work: COVID-19' and conducted a 5 Call Phone Survey, completed in 2021. All the findings  can be found here. This Phone Survey is an adapted version of the Round 6 survey with additional questions to directly assess the impact of the pandemic. 

The survey consisted of five phone calls with each of our Young Lives respondents, across both the younger and older cohorts, and in all four study countries. It enabled Young Lives to inform policy makers on the short-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The resources used by YLAW to conduct the Phone Survey are available, Open Access, on this page.
