Abstract

ABSTRACT It is a truism to state that across the world the COVID-19 pandemic brought about and continues to cause disruption on a scale not seen before. As the pandemic is still very much ongoing, its lasting impact will take time to fully unfold. This article uses ecological theory to map the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young people and their wellbeing, based on some initial published studies. It reviews how their micro system contexts, especially access to school and youth services were further disrupted adding to the pressure and isolation experienced by many. Continuing the ecological framework the paper explores the policy spaces within the exosystem where stakeholders are engaged in promoting youth wellbeing and support. It is this policy “space” that this article argues has the potential to scaffold positive youth development and supports in the aftermath of the pandemic. It will argue in particular for the need to extend and enhance mesosystem connections, especially for those without strong natural support networks

重建得更好——用生态视角为在后疫情世界加强年轻人的中系统联系辩护

在全球范围内，2019冠状病毒病大流行造成并将继续造成前所未有的破坏，这是不言而喻的。由于疫情仍在持续，其持久影响需要时间才能充分显现。本文基于一些初步发表的研究，利用生态学理论绘制了COVID-19大流行对年轻人及其福祉的影响。它审查了他们的微观系统环境，特别是获得学校和青年服务的机会如何进一步中断，增加了许多人所经历的压力和孤立。继续生态框架，本文探讨了利益相关者参与促进青年福祉和支持的外部系统内的政策空间。本文认为，正是这一政策“空间”有可能在疫情后为青年提供积极的发展和支持。它将特别讨论扩展和加强中系统连接的必要性，特别是对于那些没有强大自然支持网络的人

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
