Corona perspectives: Children and Covid-19
Although some studies suggest that the immune system of children can over react to the virus, young people are much less affected by the viral pandemic than adults and the elderly. However, this study from The Lancet shows that the impact of the economic crisis my be devastating for very young children in low- and middle-income countries, as jobs disappear, food becomes scarce, and aid to vulnerable communities is limited.

Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies monitors the Covid-19 pandemic
There is little doubt that the Covid-19 pandemic affects communities and nations across the world in different ways, and that the world’s poor are going to experience this crisis much more keenly than people belonging to affluent communities. As a postcolonial research centre, Linnaeus University Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies will help monitor the development of the crisis. At the centre's web page above, you will find research and opinion pieces that highlight the dispersed and uneven impact of the crisis in Swedish and global society.
Our aim is that articles that we refer to should be open to the public. However, we cannot guarantee that all articles will be, as media companies' policies and the availability of individual articles may change over time.
