Learning from home due to school closures during the Covid-19 pandemic has put a strain on children's mental health. This is because they have less social interaction. The pressures include boredom from staying at home (47%) and fear of contracting the coronavirus (34%).
In addition, one in ten children also worried about their parents' income, which correlates with meeting their food needs (10%).
Wahana Visi Indonesia conducted a survey of 900 households and 943 children spread across nine provinces in Indonesia. Respondents came from rural (88.1%), semi-urban (4.1%), and urban (7.8%) communities. Data collection took place from May 12-18, 2020.
