Covid-19 Salgını ve Gençler: Salgının Gençlerin İstihdamı, Eğitimi, Sağlığı Üzerine Etkileri ve Gençleri Korumaya Yönelik Düzenlemeler

Abstract

COVID-19 salgını tüm yaş grubundaki bireylerin yaşam ve çalışma koşullarını derinden etkileyen ekonomik ve sosyal krize dönüşmüştür. Ancak salgının gençler üzerindeki etkisi yetişkinlerden daha fazla olmuştur. Salgın sürecinde gençler öncelikle işgücü piyasası ve eğitim alanında yeni eşitsizliklerle karşı karşıya kalmışlardır. Ayrıca salgın öncesi dönemde var olan sorunların artması ile birlikte salgın döneminde gençlerin fiziksel ve ruhsal sağlığı ile ilgili yeni sorunlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışma, ilk olarak salgının gençler üzerindeki etkilerini istihdam, eğitim ve sağlık temelinde incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. İkinci olarak, salgının gençler üzerinde olumsuz ve uzun süreli olacağı tahmin edilen etkilerini azaltmaya ve gençleri korumaya yönelik Ekonomik İşbirliği ve Kalkınma Örgütü’ne (OECD) üye bazı ülkelerde yapılan düzenlemeleri ele almaktadır.
