In the Nieuwsuur broadcasting from 13 April, Pearl Dykstra, Professor of Empirical Sociology and PDPC Social Sciences Lead praised the SCP for its research and longitudinal studies, and their role in tracking and analysing social changes in Dutch society over a long period of time. “After the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic SCP published a rapport, stating that younger people instead of older people are struggling during the pandemic, contrary to what was predicted. Valuable information” Pearl Dykstra.
