Australians may be more stressed beacause of COVID-19. But parents with children in the household say their relationships have improved. Almost one in two Australians, 47 per cent, say they are more stressed because of the COVID-19 crisis, according to new data from The Australian National University (ANU). The findings also show three in 10 Australians say their finances have worsened during the pandemic. The report is based on a survey of over 3,200 Australians and led by the ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods. Co-author, Professor Nicholas Biddle, says the pandemic has also worsened Australians' outlook for the future, with 40 per cent feeling downbeat. Meanwhile, 43 per cent of Australians are feeling lonely or isolated due to the crisis and related lockdowns.
