A number of national and international research projects are currently underway that empirically record the economic and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The collection is wide and ranges from snapshots of surveys with self-selected samples, representative surveys, longitudinal studies, experiments, etc..
IZA’s Research Data Center (IDSC) collects and curates the information on such new initiatives. Projects with high research output based on number of IZA Discussion Papers or otherwise are promoted especially as “featured resources” on the top of our website.

  • ifo Education Survey 2020 – Parent Survey

    Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19

    The sample of parents: From the total sample of the ifo Education Survey, which includes a representative sample of the adult population in Germany all parents of school children have been asked to answer questions for their youngest school child about activities during the time of the Corona related school closures.
    In this respect, this subsample is a "convenience sample" of parents of pupils at all general schools - elementary schools, secondary schools, junior high schools and comprehensive schools, grammar schools and other types of secondary schools -,due to the representativeness of the overall sample, and a good representation of the students at general education schools.
    The parent survey includes a question about children's activities in the period before the school closures. The parent sample includes 1,099 parents of school children.
    The first wave of the survey was conducted as part of a large education survey from 3 June to 1 July 2020. The second wave of the survey was in the field from 17 February to 10 March 2021.
    Overall, 2,045 parents of children in schools were surveyed. In contrast to the first survey, the sample in the second survey was immediately restricted to parents, and quotas were again used to ensure representativeness along several dimensions including age, gender, state of residence, and education degree. A total of 513 respondents, equivalent to 47 percent of the original parent sample, were successfully recruited to participate again in the second wave. The sample allows to compare respondents’ answers in the first period of school closures and nearly one year later, and hence gain novel insights how individual families and schools adapted to the new realities brought on by the pandemic.
