“…Furthermore, the available large cross-country datasets that cover the first year of the pandemic do not include comprehensive sets of questions that enable comparative overviews of diverse aspects of work and family lives of mothers and fathers that were affected during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in regard to distributions of detailed childcare and housework tasks and time children have spent at home due to diverse pandemic-related reasons. As a result, researchers face difficulties making cross-country comparisons of the work and family outcomes for parents during the COVID-19 pandemic [22][23][24][25]28 . The FCCGD 29 presented here aims to address this gap as it enables researchers to make cross-country comparisons of diverse aspects of the work and family lives of parents of dependent children (having at least one child under 12) across six countries: Canada, Germany, Italy, Poland, Sweden and the US.…”

Familydemic Cross Country and Gender Dataset on work and family outcomes during COVID-19 pandemic

Here we present the Familydemic Cross Country and Gender Dataset (FCCGD), which offers cross country and gender comparative data on work and family outcomes among parents of dependent children, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. It covers six countries from two continents representing diverse welfare regimes as well as distinct policy reactions to the pandemic outbreak. The FCCGD was created using the first wave of a web-based international survey (Familydemic) carried out between June and September 2021, on large samples of parents (aged 20–59) living with at least one child under 12 in Canada, Germany, Italy, Poland, Sweden, and the US. While individual datasets are not available due to country-level restriction policies, the presented database allows for cross-country comparison of a wide range of employment outcomes and work arrangements, the division of diverse tasks of unpaid labour (housework and childcare) in couples, experiences with childcare and school closures due to the pandemic and subjective assessments of changes to work-life balance, career prospects and the financial situation of families (234 variables).

“…It allows to investigate the effect of political factors on evaluations or reactions to Covid-19, such as the rally around the flag effect (Baekgaard et al 2020 ; Dietz et al 2021 ; Kritzinger et al 2021 ; Schraff 2020 ). Furthermore, the RPB allows for cross-country comparison with similar Covid-19 panels (in Austria, see Kittel et al 2020 , 2022 ; in 11 democracies, see Brouard et al 2022 ). In the RBP dataset, we observe a striking stability of political attitudes throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, which is in line with the findings in other Western countries (Altiparmakis et al 2021 ).…”

This research note presents the RepResent Belgian Panel (RBP). The RBP is a voter panel survey consisting of four waves fielded to a sample of voters in Belgium around the May 2019 federal, regional, and European elections in Belgium. It provides unique data on about 250 variables for a quota sample of the same respondents, pre-2019 elections (N = 7351), post-2019 elections (N = 3909), one year after the elections (N = 1996), and 2 years after the elections (N = 1119). The RBP panel dataset was designed to analyse voters’ political attitudes and behaviours, notably on different dimensions of democratic representation, and with a specific focus on democratic resentment (e.g. citizens’ attitudes towards democracy such as distrust and alienation, but also behaviours such as abstention, protest, or voting for anti-establishment parties). Its longitudinal structure allows to explore the political dynamics at play in Belgium throughout the lengthy government formation process. Finally, the last two waves of the RBP were fielded during the Covid-19 pandemic, allowing to explore public opinion before and during this global crisis. The RBP should be of interest to scholars of public opinion and electoral studies.

“…In a later stage of the pandemic, researchers dedicated significant efforts to collect more encompassing data. New and existing panel studies directed their attention to the study of the pandemic (see, e.g., Brouard et al, 2022;Kittel et al, 2020), and researchers collected unprecedented large-scale data surveying individuals in tens of countries over many time points (see, e.g., Bacon et al, 2021;Hensel et al, 2022;Keng et al, 2022). Nevertheless, despite the availability of new longitudinal and cross-country data, we argue that one main limitation of existing research-with remarkable exceptions, see, for example, Fridman et al (2021)-is that it does not exploit the features of such data to examine how relationships change over time.…”

“…However, empirical results in the COVID‐19 case are less conclusive. One limit of existing research is that it often relies on one‐country, cross‐sectional data, with only a limited fraction of studies relying on cross‐country, longitudinal, or panel data (Brouard et al., 2022). This is understandable.…”

COVID‐19 vaccine acceptance: A comparative longitudinal analysis of the association between risk perception, confidence, and the acceptance of a COVID‐19 vaccine

Following the outbreak of COVID‐19, scientists rushed to develop vaccines to protect individuals and ferry the world out of the pandemic. Unfortunately, vaccine hesitancy is a major threat to the success of vaccination campaigns. Research on previous pandemics highlighted the centrality of perceived risk and confidence as core determinants of vaccine acceptance. Research on COVID‐19 is less conclusive, and frequently it relies on one‐country, cross‐sectional data, thus making it hard to generalize results across contexts and observe these relationships over time. To bridge these gaps, in this article, we analyzed the association between perceived risk, confidence, and vaccine acceptance cross‐sectionally at individual and country levels. Then, we longitudinally explored whether a within‐country variation in perceived risk and confidence was correlated with a variation in vaccine acceptance. We used data from a large‐scale survey of individuals in 23 countries and 19 time‐points between June 2020 and March 2021 and comparative longitudinal multilevel models to estimate the associations at different levels of analysis simultaneously. Results show the existence of cross‐sectional relationships at the individual and country levels but no significant associations within countries over time. This article contributes to our understanding of the roles of risk perception and confidence in COVID‐19 vaccines’ acceptance by underlining that these relationships might differ at diverse levels of analysis. To foster vaccine uptake, it might be important to address individual concerns and persisting contextual characteristics, but increasing levels of perceived risk and confidence might not be a sufficient strategy to increase vaccine acceptance rates.
