Abstract: | The present study examines how social services have been affected by the coronavirus crisis during the first four weeks of a pandemic-related “lockdown” in Switzerland, from mid-March to mid-April 2020. It also addresses how social services have responded to these challenges. The study focuses on economic and personal social assistance as well as child protection. It is based on a stratified random sample of 169 pro-fessionals. The social services come from the Swiss cantons of Aargau (n=22 professionals), Bern (n=42), Lucerne (n=32), Thurgau (n=18) and Zurich (n=55). Municipal and regional services with catchment areas of varying size are considered. All five German-speaking major regions of Switzerland are represented, but not the Lake Geneva region and Ticino. |
