Abstract

COVID-19 had caused severe effects on students’ lives, especially in terms of their own income and family members. The key areas where negative effects on household income have affected students are related with the number of household members receiving income, the type of income of head of household receive, and the amount of money received by the household. With the aim of measure these effects, we have collected surveys to a representative sample of students. We tested the results using a Mc Nemar test with the aim of test whether the differences found in the pre and post COVID-19 results were significant. The mains results show us that the pandemic outbreak has affected negatively the income received by students and their family members. By the other side, the labor stability changed drastically for some students and family workers.
