Abstract: | This study investigates how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected teachers' job-specific stresses and their enthusiasm for the teaching occupation. We use unique data from China that cover the periods before and after the start of the pandemic and apply various estimation methods. We find that, among rural young teachers, the pandemic has caused higher teaching stress and career development stress and has reduced passion toward the teaching occupation. We investigate the working channels of the pandemic, including changes in job-related activities and social network. After controlling for possible working channels, the COVID-19 pandemic still shows a strong direct impact on job sentiments. |
