European Youth

The primary objective of the Flash Eurobarometer survey “European Youth” (No. 408) is to study young EU citizens’ participation in society, with special reference to involvement in voluntary activities and participation in political elections and cultural activities. Only respondents aged 15 to 30 were included in this survey.
The survey examines the following issues:
§ Young people’s involvement in a range of groups and clubs such as sports clubs, youth organisations and cultural organisations;
§ Participation in political elections at the local, regional, national and EU level;
§ Participation in cultural activities;
§ Involvement in organised voluntary activities, the nature of these activities and how young people have been recognised or recompensed for their participation;
§ Involvement in international volunteering and international youth projects;
§ Young people’s confidence about finding employment and their main concerns.
