Impact of COVID-19 on Children and Adolescents

05 Nov 2021

This brief collects and analyses current evidence in India regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the health and well-being of children (5-9 years) and adolescents (10-19). Using the ‘snowball retrieval’ strategy, the authors identified peer-reviewed studies, reports and government articles published between January 2020 and February 2021 that were relevant to the research question. The brief finds that not only are children and adolescents highly vulnerable to the impacts of the pandemic, but that these ramifications are manifold and require immediate attention. The analysis highlights the disproportionately greater vulnerability of girls in the areas of education, domestic violence, child marriage, domestic workload, and mental health. it is a useful document for implementers.  Click here to read the brief.
