“…In general, the impact caused by post-disaster on children provides deep cognitive and psychological effects such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, fear, worry, and sadness caused by physical injuries and loss of family members [24]. Children who have lost their parents experience insecurity due to the loss of a protective figure; the child cannot continue school due to the destruction of school buildings, the unfulfilled right to access education and knowledge; being in an uncertain situation also causes uncomfortable feelings that have a bad impact on their emotional development [25].…”

The special section's papers collectively paint a picture of where disaster and development in children and adolescents research is at. The articles' diversity is impressive; they cover a wide range of crisis circumstances, such as war and the use of child soldiers, terrorism and political unrest, hurricanes and tsunamis, earthquakes and floods, as well as political unrest and climatic change. There are representations of specific calamities that happened in nine different nations. The articles cover a wide range of ages, from very young children through adolescents. In this field of study, longitudinal research and studies that focus on developmental processes are still uncommon. Although a few articles discuss additional levels of analysis, such as biological function and relationships, the majority of the articles concentrate on a behavioral level of function and analysis.

“…Most studies identify loss in income, poor health of the children exposed to vulnerability, and destruction of education-related infrastructure (such as schools and classrooms). These studies also noted the reduction in consumption expenditure as an essential channel (see, for example, Baez & Santos, 2007;Nguyen & Minh Pham, 2018;Raut, 2021). Both income and substitution effects (e.g.…”

Background: Natural disaster has far-reaching consequences on the economic development of low-income economies due to the damage to physical and human capital and their poor resilience toward such damages. Nepal faces such disasters at frequent intervals without much effort to account for its consequences, particularly on human capital. Objective: This study assesses the short-term impact of Nepal's 2015 earthquake on children's educational attainment. The study also conducts heterogeneous analysis to analyze how the impact varies by gender. Secondary school completion is chosen as a measure of educational attainment. Method: The study utilizes second and third rounds of household survey data taken from the Nepal Risk and Vulnerability Survey (NHRVS) conducted by the World Bank. The study uses child fixed effects combined with the difference-in-difference method to account for issues relating to identifying the earthquake's impact on educational attainment. Results: The study finds that the cohorts exposed to the earthquake had an adverse effect on the probability of secondary school completion. A heterogeneous analysis by gender further reveals that the male children experienced a significant drop in their secondary school completion probability while female children essentially had no impact. Implication: The quality of human resources depends upon the quality of health and education in any country. The findings of this research draw the attention of the policymakers to the serious consequences that natural disaster has on human capital and help make informed policy decisions not only during the recovery process but also during the planning and policy formulation stage. Originality: This paper is original and has not been published anywhere else.

“…Accordingly, by considering behavioral aspects, pandemics such as the one caused by SARS-CoV-2 may belong to a hybrid category: rather than being considered a natural disaster, their cause is biological, but their propagation partly depends on human behavior, and consequences are undeniably social. This is also the case when considering devastating Goldmann & Galea, 2014;Leytham & Powell, 2012;Nguyen & Pham, 2018), as well as on cooperation, prosociality and altruism (Kaniasty & Norris, 2004). These concepts and their definition outside of emergency situations have been at the core of a vast body of literature from an evolutionary perspective in human adults (Preston & de Waal, 2002;West et al, 2007).…”

No two emergency situations are the same. A combination of human and contextual factors makes each emergency and disaster event unique in its timeline, its aftermath, and especially its impact on affected populations. Common to these situations, however, is a demonstration of prosocial behavior intended to benefit other victims. Can shared features of emergencies, viewed through the lens of evolutionary, cognitive, developmental and social psychology shed light on these prosocial and altruistic actions? In this narrative review, we survey the onset of prosociality and altruistic behavior in typical human development, and we focus on how it is expressed in emergency situations. We consider how prosociality shifts and adapts in the specific context of a pandemic. Finally, we suggest that a multidisciplinary research approach may help overcome methodological limitations and achieve more comprehensive understanding of prosociality’s underlying mechanisms in emergency contexts.
