Differential Impacts of Public Health Emergencies on the Noncognitive Abilities of Local and Migrant Children
Utilizing survey data from nine Shanghai public schools in 2017,2018,and 2020,we ex-plore the differential impact of COVID-19 pandemic,the major public health emergency,on the noncogni-tive abilities of local and migrant children.We find a significant adverse effect of the pandemic on the emo-tional stability of migrant children,leading to a decrease of 0.222 standard deviations compared to their lo-cal peers.Mechanism analysis reveals that home-based online learning environments,family economic con-dition change and parental educational support are the primary factors leading to the expanded emotional stability gap between the migrant children and their local peers.
