On April 2020, 4, LINE Research, operated by LINE Corporation, announced an impact survey of high school and university students due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.The survey was conducted from April 27 to 2020, 4, and 15 samples of high school students and 17 samples of university students of LINE users were collected.

 About 9% of the universities that college students attend are closed all at once (as of April 4).Of these, 15% said that "online lessons are being held", but 46% said that "there is no particular support".When I asked college students who are taking online self-study and online lessons about the devices they use, it was found that more than 24% of them are laptop computers, but less than 7% of them also take smartphones.

 How has the life of college students changed?Time for going out, exercising, and part-time work / club activities has decreased, and about 8% of female students are "time to watch or play online or apps", and less than 8% are "time to sleep / stay up late". Answered that the number increased.Similarly, for male students, "time spent watching and playing online and apps" was the highest, followed by "games" at about 6%.

 When asked about their problems in their daily lives, "difficulty in changing their mood" and "lack of exercise" occupy the top ranks in common as their lives change.In addition, you can see the disorder of life, such as "I can't stop playing online or playing games all the time" and "I stay up late at night and sleep until after noon".In addition, "income is likely to decrease" ranked in 5th place.

 Regarding part-time jobs, about 7% had part-time jobs before the impact of the new corona expanded, but 7% of them had "decreased shifts" at the time of the survey, and 1% had to "quit / have to quit." I answered.The average monthly income decrease is 4 yen, and if you limit it to "university students who work part-time for living expenses and school expenses", less than 2915% of the income will decrease, and the average decrease will be 8. The influence is increasing with the yen.
