Our unique panel data on 3697 students from 214 schools in 8 German federal states contain prospective survey information on three dimensions of well-being: mental health problems, self-rated health, and life satisfaction. Data is collected several months before (fall 2019), shortly before and soon after (spring 2020) as well as several months after (fall/winter 2020/21) the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Applying difference-in-differences designs, random effect growth curve models, and linear regression models, we find that school closures had a positive immediate effect on students' well-being. Over the course of the pandemic, however, well-being strongly declined, mainly among the 2021 graduation cohort. We show that a strong decline in mental health is associated with changes in educational and career plans and transition outcomes. As adverse life experiences in adolescence are likely to accumulate over the life course, this study is the first to exhibit potential long-lasting negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on education and careers of young individuals.}, language = {en} } @article{SandnerPatzinaAngeretal.2022, author = {Sandner, Malte and Patzina, Alexander and Anger, Silke and Bernhard, Sarah and Dietrich, Hans}, title = {The COVID-19 pandemic, well-being, and transitions to post-secondary education}, series = {Review of Economics of the Household}, volume = {21}, journal = {Review of Economics of the Household}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, issn = {1569-5239}, doi = {10.1007/s11150-022-09623-9}, pages = {461 -- 483}, year = {2022}, abstract = {AbstractThis study examines the immediate and intermediate effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the well-being of two high school graduation cohorts (2020 and 2021) and how changes in well-being affect students' educational plans and outcomes.
