Brief Description of the Project:
This study sought to expand and consolidate the knowledge of life circumstances of young people in Liechtenstein, and to survey their attitudes towards life, their opinions on family and relationships, free time, school and work, political societal participation, health and physical awareness, and social attitudes and behaviour.
In spring 2006, 439 Liechtenstein adolescents between the age of 12 and 21 years received written questionnaires. The stratified sample was selected according to demographic variables regarding age, gender, education, school, and work. The target group was primarily approached during small events in local youth clubs of various Liechtenstein municipalities; a small group was also interviewed in schools.
