The shock of the COVID-19 pandemic affected the human capital formation of children and youths. As a consequence of this disruption, the pandemic is likely to imply permanent lower levels of human capital. This paper provides new evidence on the impact of COVID-19 and school closures on education in Latin America by exploiting harmonized microdata from a large set of national household surveys carried out in 2020, during the pandemic. In addition, the paper uses microsimulations to assess the potential effect of changes in human capital due to the COVID-19 crisis on future income distributions. The findings show that the pandemic is likely to have significant long-run consequences in terms of incomes and poverty if strong compensatory measures are not taken soon.

Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Auswirkungen der Corona-Pandemie auf die Nutzung der eigenen Nachbarschaft. Dabei wird das individuelle Mobilitätsverhalten als Mittler genutzt, um diese Veränderungen, bezogen auf das Berliner Stadtgebiet, räumlich nachzuvollziehen. In einem Mixed-Method-Ansatz wurde für die zwei Berliner Bezirke Treptow-Köpenick und Mitte vom Spätsommer bis Herbst 2020 eine qualitative Studie mit standardisierter Vorab-Befragung durchgeführt. Ausgangspunkt der Arbeit ist dabei die Annahme, dass Ausgangs- und Kontaktbeschränkungen, Schließungen von Geschäften und Veranstaltungsstätten und andere Maßnahmen der Pandemieeindämmung wie Social Distancing während der Corona-Krise einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Orte haben, die Berliner*innen seit März 2020 aufsuchten. Die Befragung zeigt auf, dass sich Änderungen im Mobilitätsverhalten besonders bei freiwilligen Aktivitäten vollzogen, während notwendige Aktivitäten nicht in gleichem Maße betroffen waren. Auch die Verkehrsmittelwahl ist von diesem Wandel betroffen: Während der ÖPNV noch immer Nutzungseinbußen verzeichnet, haben das Auto, das Fahrrad, aber auch der Fußverkehr an Attraktivität gewonnen. Darüber hinaus werden zwei Anpassungsstrategien der Befragten im Freizeitbereich näher vorgestellt - einerseits das Aufsuchen von naturnahen Freiräumen in der Stadt, zum anderen das Spazierengehen als pandemieangepasster soziale Praxis. Zuletzt wird die Frage aufgeworfen, welche Rolle Stadtplanung in dieser Entwicklungsdynamik einnehmen kann.

The worldwide imposed lockdowns forced schools and universities to digitise conventional teaching in a very short time and to convert teaching and learning formats partially or completely to Distance Learning. The changes in everyday teaching brought by Distance Learning were felt worldwide. With 22 double blind peerreviewed articles of researchers reporting on 17 different countries, the editors of this book want to shed light on the effects of Distance Learning in different regions of the world. This will allow for a value-free comparison of how the COVID-19 pandemic has been addressed in education in different parts of the world and what impacts it has had, is having or may have in the future.

"COVID-19 has presented huge challenges to governments, businesses, civil societies, and people from all walks of life, but its impact has been highly variegated, affecting society in multiple negative ways, with uneven geographical and socioeconomic patterns. The crisis revealed existing contradictions and inequalities in society, compelling us to question what it means to return to "normal" and what insights can be gleaned from Southeast Asia for thinking about a post-pandemic world."
