Youth Economic Activity and Health Survey, 2021-2022

The Youth Economic Activity and Health (YEAH) Survey, 2021-2022 was a major data collection effort to track the well-being, learning, and expectations of 16-25-year-olds in the second phase of the COVID-19 pandemic after effective vaccines had started to roll out. In all, it collected 8,000 data points between February 2021 to November 2022 using web interviews in quota samples recruited from proprietary access panels managed by Ipsos MORI and partners. The survey’s main objectives were to deliver intelligence on: 1. Successful transitions 2. Future planning, optimism and expectations 3. Learning progression in education and the world of work 4. Career development activities, career support and career progress 5. Health, subjective well-being, and support networks The project and data collection were led by Dr Golo Henseke as the Principal investigator. He is the primary contact. Professor Francis Green and Professor Ingrid Schoon guided and co-designed the survey at all stages of development. The project team was affiliated with IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society. The survey was carried out by Ipsos MORI UK. Funding for this research was provided by the Economic and Social Research Council, Grant No. ES/V01577X/1.<p>This project Youth Economic Activity and Health (YEAH) addressed the UK's need for robust evidence on COVID-19's consequences for youth employment, learning and well-being. YEAH addressed five related research issues: 1. Successful transitions 2. Future planning and optimism 3. Learning 4. Internship and knowledge exchange 5. Youth employment support initiatives. To address some of the research questions, the project commissioned a survey of 16-25-year-olds in Britain, which is shared here. In all, the YEAH project provided valuable insights into the impacts of and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic on youth after effective vaccines had become available. We found a recovery in youth unemployment and life satisfaction across countries. For Britain, the recovery in life satisfaction was explained by increased social contacts, receding worries about career prospects and job skills learning, and opportunities for job skills learning. The project also examined the perceived effects of the pandemic on the learning of job skills and career planning in post-Brexit Britain over time and between groups of young people. The project emphasised the importance of social contacts, career prospects, job skills learning, and career preparation activities in supporting youth's well-being during and after the pandemic.</p>2021-2022年青年经济活动与健康调研（Youth Economic Activity and Health Survey，缩写YEAH）是一项大型数据采集项目，旨在追踪新冠疫情有效疫苗开始推广后的第二阶段中，16-25岁青年的福祉、学习状况与未来期望。2021年2月至2022年11月期间，调研通过网络访谈的方式，从益普索莫里（Ipsos MORI）及其合作方管理的专有访问面板中招募配额样本，共收集到8000个数据点。 本次调研的核心目标在于提供以下维度的情报支撑： 1. 成功转型 2. 未来规划、乐观心态与预期展望 3. 教育与职场领域的学习进展 4. 职业发展活动、职业支持与职业进阶 5. 健康状况、主观福祉与支持网络 本项目与数据采集工作由首席研究员戈洛·亨瑟克（Golo Henseke）博士主导，其为主要联络人。弗朗西斯·格林（Francis Green）教授与英格丽德·肖恩（Ingrid Schoon）教授在调研开发的全阶段均提供指导并参与共同设计。项目团队隶属于伦敦大学学院教育与社会学院（IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society）。本次调研由英国益普索莫里（Ipsos MORI UK）执行。 本研究的资助方为经济与社会研究理事会（Economic and Social Research Council），资助编号为ES/V01577X/1。 YEAH项目旨在满足英国对新冠疫情对青年就业、学习与福祉影响的可靠证据的需求。YEAH针对五项相关研究议题展开： 1. 成功转型 2. 未来规划与乐观心态 3. 学习状况 4. 实习与知识交流 5. 青年就业支持举措 为解答部分研究问题，本项目委托开展了针对英国16-25岁青年的调研，本次共享的即为该调研数据。 总体而言，YEAH项目为新冠疫情有效疫苗普及后，疫情对青年群体的影响及灾后复苏提供了宝贵洞见。研究团队发现，多国青年失业率与生活满意度均出现复苏。就英国而言，生活满意度的复苏可归因于社交往来增加、对职业前景与职业技能学习的担忧缓解，以及职业技能学习机会的增多。此外，项目还考察了后脱欧时代的英国，疫情随时间推移以及在不同青年群体中，对职业技能学习与职业规划的感知影响。本项目强调，在疫情期间及疫情过后，社交往来、职业前景、职业技能学习与职业准备活动，对支持青年福祉具有重要意义。
