- Os Impactos Sociais da Pandemia: o Segundo ConfinamentoPublication . Gouveia, Rita; Serra-Silva, Sofia; Almeida, Ana Nunes de; Wall, Karin; Vieira, Maria Manuel; Carvalho, Diana; Ribeiro Santos, Ana SofiaEste relatório centra-se nos principais resultados do inquérito online “Os impactos sociais da pandemia - o segundo confinamento”, coordenado por uma equipa de investigadoras do Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa (ICS-ULisboa), que decorreu entre os dias 11 a 25 de Fevereiro de 2021, ou seja, durante o 11º estado de emergência nacional. À data da recolha dos dados, o cenário epidemiológico em Portugal era grave, com um número médio de novas infeções diárias a rondar os 1800 casos e contabilizando um número de 100 óbitos diários. A amostra obtida é uma amostra “bola de neve” ou “guiada pelo respondente”, tendo sido recolhidas 7873 respostas de inquiridos a residir em Portugal, com 16 ou mais anos de idade. Ao longo deste relatório focamo-nos na análise diferenciada dos impactos da pandemia nas diversas esferas da vida, nos diferentes grupos sociais e nas experiências vividas dos indivíduos e das famílias em cenário de confinamento. Para tal, centramo-nos em cinco questões: • Em que medida o confinamento de 2021 foi mais fácil, igual ou mais difícil do que o confinamento de 2020? • Quais os impactos da pandemia na vida profissional dos indivíduos? • Como é que os jovens viveram os seus quotidianos estudantis durante o confinamento e quais as suas maiores preocupações face ao futuro? • Como é que foi vivida a doença por aqueles que estiveram infetados com COVID-19 e que sequelas deixou tal experiência? • Quais os níveis de confiança nas instituições e decisores políticos e a quem é atribuída uma maior responsabilidade pela situação epidemiológica do país?

- Children, citizenship and crisis: towards a participatory agendaPublication . Almeida, Ana Nunes de; Ribeiro, Ana Sofia; Rowland, JussaraChildren’s citizenship has become a major theme in contemporary social policy and science debates, and children’s rights have gradually emerged as benchmarks for many national, regional or local policy narratives, consistent with the un Convention on the Rights of the Child (un 1989). Indeed, the uncrc concept of citizenship encompasses, for the first time, participation, provision but also participation rights. The attention has focused not only on children’s “superior interest” but also on their agency capacities and their participatory rights, considering them active and competent actors in social relationships, who have a voice, irrespective of those of adults. Crises, caused by disasters, economic and social adversities are moments of disruption where the pre-existing unequal social ties between individuals or groups in society become more visible, evidencing different access to citizenship status. Children have very often been portrayed as passive and helpless victims or as vulnerable recipients of aid in crisis situations, with little attention given to their ability to perceive and interpret these phenomena, or what they can contribute to public policies that address these issues.
- Lockdown practices: a portrait of young people in the family during the first lockdown in PortugalPublication . Vieira, Maria Manuel; Almeida, Ana Nunes de; Ribeiro Santos, Ana SofiaGovernments introduced protective public health measures, including lockdowns and social distancing, in response to the unprecedented global crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. For young people, such measures are particularly painful, as they entail an interruption of their transitions to adulthood, which generally require taking up their position in the public space and emerging as a recognised social peer, either through leaving the parental home, initiating an intimate relationship or getting a full-time job. In Portugal, where such transitions are often postponed, and young people cohabit with parents for much longer, lockdown meant withdrawal from the public space and living in an intensive family collective. This brought many challenges and created tension. Based on the results of a non-representative online survey on the impacts of the pandemic in Portugal, this article focuses how young people aged 16–24 adapted to the 2020 lockdown, using the conceptual lens of familialism. The results show that familialism remains a key support system in adversity, evidencing intergenerational solidarity through everyday practices of resilience and (self-) care, renewing and remaking social bonds. Individual distancing practices are deployed backstage, however, mitigating and nuancing the overwhelming hold of familialism.
- Including and excluding. Schools’ reputations: students, families and choicesPublication . Vieira, Maria Manuel; Almeida, Ana Nunes de; Ribeiro, Ana SofiaSchools are key institutions in shaping inclusion and exclusion processes impacting on individual identity and social mobility. If the promise of widening participation in education has brought educational opportunities for almost all, it is not true that those educational opportunities are the same. Increasingly, the quality of education matters more as a mark of distinction, and choosing a school that brings success has replaced the quest for access in the new educational markets. Attending a certain school can lead to good grades, instil appropriate values, allow entrance to or maintenance of desired social circles and foster life projects envisioned by many families. School choice (and, in particular, upper secondary school choice) is a decision based on several factors. Rational criteria, such as geographical proximity and affordability, are certainly weighty family concerns. Subjective aspects, however, such as school leadership, safety and tailored educational projects, also carry increasing value among families of all backgrounds. While choosing a school is currently a decision more in the hands of families, given the Portuguese demographic downturn and the excessive school supply, policies driven by territorialisation and evaluation have led schools to target specific audiences and to develop distinctive profiles that help parents recognise a school as a perfect match.
- Children in Disaster Risk Reduction in Portugal: Policies, Education, and (Non) ParticipationPublication . Delicado, Ana; Rowland, Jussara; Fonseca, Susana; Almeida, Ana Nunes de; Schmidt, Luísa; Ribeiro, Ana SofiaInternational agencies and scientific research have been calling for the inclusion of children in disaster preparedness and risk reduction, to hear their voices in order to address their specific needs and vulnerabilities and harness their capabilities in terms of building community resilience. This article assesses the roles ascribed to children in policy and education for disaster risk reduction in Portugal. The approach is based on a scoping methodology that encompasses document analysis and interviews with national and local stakeholders and policymakers in the disaster risk reduction field. The research is carried out within the scope of a European funded project, CUIDAR Cultures of Disaster Resilience among Children and Young People. More specifically, the article provides an overview of the discourses on the roles ascribed to children in urban disaster risk reduction (DRR). The authors maintain that although children are often taken as a target group in urban disaster prevention and management, they are seldom considered in terms of active participation in disaster risk reduction programs in the Portuguese context. Nevertheless, our analysis shows that there is a growing awareness of the relevance of active participation by children in order to create successful DRR.
