Abstract: „Dit artikel onderzoekt het Nederlandse politieke en media discours als reactie op de eerste golf van de wereldwijde covid-19-pandemie. Hierbij staat de vraag centraal in hoeverre de ontwikkeling en toon van dit discours de logica volgt van wat in de literatuur ook wel aangeduid wordt als ‘regeren door middel van migratiecontrole’. Volgens deze logica wordt migratie naar voren gebracht als een oorzaak van verschillende problematische, complexe, maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen, zelfs als er geen bewijs is om een dergelijk causaal verband te suggereren. Vanwege de veronderstelde relatie tussen migratie en het maatschappelijk probleem – in dit geval de covid-19 pandemie – wordt er een hardere toon in het discours rond migratie aangenomen, en kan dit zich zelf vertalen naar het nemen concrete maatregelen om de mobiliteit van mensen (verder) te beteugelen. Het artikel stelt vast dat, in deze eerste golf van de pandemie, deze specifieke dynamiek niet duidelijk aanwezig is in het Nederlandse politieke discours, noch in het mediadiscours.“

Abstract: „As a part of measures taken to contain the spread of the coronavirus, sex work was barred in the Netherlands between 23 March and 1 July 2020, as well as between 15 december 2020 and 19 May 2021. Shortly after the start of the first lockdown, many sex workers appeared to be in increasingly precarious situations. They lost their main source of income but were largely excluded from receiving financial support provided by the Dutch government. This article examines the situation of sex workers during the first lockdown and in the weeks after they were permitted to resume work.“

Angaben zum Inhalt: „Changes in informal care provision during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 in the Netherlands. This study investigates to what extent the intensity of informal care provision has changed during the first lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020 in the Netherlands, whether these changes differed by the living situation of the care recipient, and whether these changes were associated with changes in indicators for ‘being able to’, ‘have to’ and ‘want to’ provide care (determinants of the Informal Care Model). We collected data in July 2020 among informal caregivers aged 78 and younger who indicated to provide care in March 2020 in the LISS-panel (N = 1,270 care situation of 1,014 caregivers). We found that, on average, informal care provision was reduced during the lockdown; caregivers of care recipients living in care institutions were the most likely to reduce or stop caregiving, and caregivers who helped someone in their own household were most likely to have increased their intensity. Feeling less restricted by the corona measures reduced the likelihood to stop or lower care provision and increased the likelihood of increasing care; being confronted with a reduction of formal care for the care recipient was related to a higher likelihood of increasing care; and stronger concerns about the care recipient increased the likelihood of intensifying care and prevented from stopping or reducing care. We conclude that the COVID-19 measures significantly impacted the amount of informal care provision and that the Informal Care Model provides a useful basis for explaining changes in informal care intensity.“

Abstract: „Theories on issue competition assume that there is only a limited number of issues that a person prioritises simultaneously. In this research note, we test this mechanism by using a panel study that was conducted among Belgian parents in 2019 and 2020. Between the two observations of the study, the country suffered a severe health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigate whether this crisis reduced the priority of environmental issues among respondents. Our results show that there was indeed a significant decline of some indicators for environmental concern, but not for others. Furthermore, we show that a higher priority for the health-related and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a steeper decline in environmental concern.“

Angaben zum Inhalt: „Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on happiness in The Netherlands In the media we read mainly about negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our subjective wellbeing, such as increased depression, anxiety and loneliness. There is less attention for possible positive effects and for this reason it is worth examining how the life-satisfaction of the Dutch population has developed during the pandemic. In the short run, this will help policy makers to balance loss of happiness against loss of lives and in the long run it will help to examine which policies have resulted in the lowest loss of happy life years. In this article, we describe observed effects on happiness in the Netherlands during the pandemic (until spring 2021) using three empirical approaches: 1) trend in subsequent survey studies, 2) analysis of a panel study, and 3) analysis of a dairy study in which mood during daily activities was measured. Average life-satisfaction declined by about 4% of which 3% between summer 2020 and spring 2021. Whereas in the early days of the pandemic, the Dutch population only reported a minor loss of happiness, the decline has become substantial at the end of the road.“

Angaben zum Inhalt: „Introduction: Belgium has noted a significant excess mortality during the first COVID-19 wave. Research in other countries has shown that people with migrant origin are disproportionally affected. Belgium has an ethnically diverse and increasingly ageing population and is therefore particularly apt to study differential mortality by migrant group during this first wave of COVID-19. Data and methods: We used nationwide individually-linked data from the Belgian National Register providing sociodemographic indicators and mortality; and the administrative census of 2011 providing indicators of socioeconomic position. Age-standardized all-cause mortality rates (ASMRs) were calculated during the first COVID-19 wave (weeks 11-20 in 2020) and compared with ASMRs during weeks 11-20 in 2019 to calculate excess mortality by migrant origin, age and gender. For both years, relative inequalities were calculated by migrant group using Poisson regression, with and without adjustment for sociodemographic and socioeconomic indicators. Results: Among the middle-aged, ASMRs revealed increased mortality in all origin groups, with significant excess mortality for Belgians and Sub-Saharan African men. At old age, excess mortality up to 60% was observed for all groups. In relative terms, most male elderly migrant groups showed higher mortality than natives, as opposed to 2019 and to women. Adding the control variables decreased this excess mortality. Discussion: This study underlined important inequalities in overall and excess mortality in specific migrant communities, especially in men. Tailor-made policy measures and communication strategies should be set-up taking into account the particular risks to which groups are exposed.“

Angaben zum Inhalt: „Eind 2019 ontstond in Wuhan de uitbraak van het COVID-19 virus, wat enkele maanden later voor een wereldwijde pandemie heeft gezorgd. Om de uitbraak van dit virus in te dijken en te bestrijden, hebben België en heel wat andere landen ingrijpende maatregelen moeten doorvoeren die het sociale en economische leven aan banden hebben gelegd. COVID-19 infecteert dus niet alleen de gezondheid, maar ook het sociaal-economische weefsel en heeft zo, al dan niet tijdelijk, een zware impact op de arbeidsmarkt. Het is momenteel nog te vroeg om te kunnen inschatten hoe lang de COVID-19 crisis en bijhorende maatregelen zullen duren, maar de dreiging van een recessie is duidelijk aanwezig. Het maakt het waarschijnlijk dat de Vlaamse arbeidsmarkt na een lange periode van toenemende krapte terug meer ontspannen wordt, door een toenemend aantal werklozen en een dalende vraag naar arbeid. Dit kan ervoor zorgen dat degenen die zich voor de COVID-19-crisis buiten de arbeidsmarkt bevonden, of die niet optimaal werden ingezet, het nog moeilijker zullen hebben om de weg naar volwaardig werk te vinden. Deze groepen verdienen ook de komende tijd onze aandacht. Bovendien wordt de Vlaamse arbeidsmarkt gekenmerkt door een hoge toekomstige uitstroom van 55-plussers en een dalende bevolking op arbeidsleeftijd. Jongeren zijn de voorbije jaren ook steeds later de arbeidsmarkt ingetreden. In het geval dat de Vlaamse arbeidsmarkt zich binnen afzienbare tijd weet te herstellen van de COVID-19 crisis, maken deze trends een creatieve blik op het inzetten van de bevolking op arbeidsleeftijd opnieuw urgent. In dit artikel ontleden we de niet-traditionele groepen van arbeidspotentieel bij de werkenden en niet-beroepsactieven naar gewest en zoomen we in op de mogelijke werkzaamheidsgroei die zou gerealiseerd kunnen worden indien de groepen die het dichtst bij de arbeidsmarkt staan aan het werk zouden gaan.“

Angaben zum Inhalt: „This essay is a historical reflection on epidemiological statistics and the ways in which these represent health in a collective way. It compares the use of such statistics in the current COVID-19 epidemic with the use of numbers during the cholera outbreaks of the nineteenth century. Its main point is that health statistics have been (and still are) fundamental to the establishment of a notion of ‘public health’ and to the construction of epidemics as social events. At the same time, such statistics – located as they are at the intersection of science, media, and politics – struggle to take into account people’s often very different individual experiences of coping with disease. While today more varied health data is circulated to a wider audience, and at a far higher speed than in the past, the format of constructing an epidemic through statistics is still very much present, including some of the limitations inherent to this approach (e.g. generalizations about social groups).“

Abstract: „This article examines the role played by signs in the public space of two socio-economically stratified residential neighbourhoods of Ghent (Belgium) during the first Covid-19 outbreak in 2020. On the basis of fieldwork, we explore the potential of public signs as a resourceful strategy for communicating solidarity and support and the discursive construction of a community affected by this crisis. We show that in times of lockdown and social distancing, the residential linguistic landscape in both neighbourhoods became strategically appropriated by local inhabitants to communicate with neighbours and strangers and was operationalised as a vehicle to serve new communicative functions such as the conveying of solidarity and support as well as gratitude, and collective belonging. Some differences related to emplacement, language use and quantity of signs were also observed. Overall, the article documents the affective appropriation of space through Covid-19 signs during the Covid-19 outbreak and periods of lockdown in Flanders, Belgium.“

Abstract: „COVID-19 has hit many countries all over the world, and its impact on (party) politics has been undeniable. This crisis situation functions as an opportunity structure incentivising opposition forces to support the government. Not much is known about what drives opposition parties to (not) support the government in crisis situations. This article integrates the literature on rally-around-the-flag, political opportunity structures, party types and party goals. More specifically, we focus on the behaviour of opposition parties towards the government's crisis response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We analyse whether and how the party type influences the position of the party vis-à-vis the governmental coalition, focusing on the case of Belgium. We categorise the seven opposition parties in Belgium as challenger or mainstream parties and explain their behaviour on the basis of policy-, office- or vote-seeking motives. Our analysis is based on party voting behaviour, elite interviews and an analysis of the main plenary debates.“

Angaben zum Inhalt: „The policing of measures to control the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is a core aspect of the current corona crisis. This article concentrates on differences in policing the corona crisis in France and the Netherlands. There are huge differences in policing the corona crisis between the two jurisdictions: France with a very strict, repressive approach, and the Netherlands with a more pragmatic, communicative and responsibilizing style. These differences can be understood by looking at the underlying frames about the relationship between state and citizens. The differences in frames about the relationship between police and citizens are more or less similar between the two countries. In France, the dominant frame is of policing as a matter of ‘force’ and ‘war’; the Dutch policing style is framed in terms of responsibilization, communication and persuasion. Despite these important differences, there are also similarities. In both countries there have been fundamental criticisms of the legal basis of the corona measures and of the way that these have been policed. The issues of protest and criticism are often related to the specific dominating frames, in a paradoxical way. The Dutch approach, with its emphasis on proximity, communication and shared responsibilities, may be more effective in realizing compliance with the anti-corona rules than the French one, with its distrust of citizens, use of sanctions and war-like rhetoric. The question is raised of whether the Dutch approach will also be successful if awareness of the dangers of the virus and of the importance of self-control declines.“

Abstract: „Dit artikel brengt de juridische grondslag voor de door de Curaçaose regering genomen maatregelen ter bestrijding van COVID-19 in kaart. Elk overheidsoptreden dient te berusten op kenbare en voldoende algemene wettelijke regels en grondrechten dienen door de overheid te worden geëerbiedigd. Ook onder grote druk en in tijden van nood waarin snel en adequaat handelen door de overheid is geboden, zal de rechtsstaat gerespecteerd moeten worden. De getroffen maatregelen begin 2020 in Curaçao verhouden zich echter niet altijd even goed tot de beginselen van de democratische rechtsstaat.“
