Abstract

The current report forms part of a larger study that investigates South African youth's experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the pandemic on the wellbeing of youth. Specifically, the study focuses on 'known youth', defined as individuals (16-35 years old) who have received psychosocial and/or financial support from DSD or the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) over the past 5 to 10 years.
