Autumn 2020 is similar in many ways to spring 2020 in that the corona pandemic appears to be ongoing and thus also its infection control restrictions, which are having a very significant impact on society and the economy. This has therefore affected both the students' study situation in the form of teaching that has quickly been changed to be largely digital, and the economy in the form of missed extra jobs and summer jobs.
For this reason, SFS investigated students' finances in several different contexts. Among other things, a Novus survey that asked 300 university students around the country how they planned to support themselves during the summer.
SFS is now releasing a new report in which we follow up on students' financial situation during Corona but also look at students' finances in the longer term. What does the situation look like? And what can be done about it? The report is based on a follow-up Novus survey that SFS conducted and the purpose of the survey was to map the financial situation of university students in general and specifically linked to the corona pandemic.
The report shows, among other things, that just over half of university students believe that they do not have full coverage for their expenses through their student funds. We also present a number of proposals from SFS to create better student finances.
The report is attached below along with the Novus survey in its entirety.
