Finnish Youth Surveys

Advisory Council for Youth Affairs (Nuora), nowadays called the State Youth Council, started to produce Youth Surveys in 1994. This survey series charts attitudes and expectations of Finnish young people aged 15 - 29. Each survey contains both current questions and recurring questions which are repeated over time, enabling the study of long-term attitude changes. The main themes include attitudes to education, working life, social security, spending, drug use, and young people's willingness to participate in order to influence decision-making.

Abstract

In connection with the 2009 Finnish Youth Survey, a comparative sample was also collected from people aged between 50 and 55. The respondents estimated how similar values their generation and their children's or young people's generation had on issues such as art, religion, education, and work. They also expressed their opinions on which factors (e.g. the age of majority, moving away from one's parents, cohabitation or marriage) make a person an adult. In addition, the respondents were presented with a set of attitudinal statements on globalisation, cultural services and art. Finally, their views were charted with the help of various statements describing the significance of art. Background variables included, among others, the respondent's age, gender, occupational status, level of education, and type of municipality.
