Youth Survey Reveals Mixed Trends

Published: 2024-08-12

The latest Ungdata survey highlights a complex picture of youth well-being in Norway.

While nine out of ten young people report a good quality of life, troubling trends in bullying and violence persist.

The survey, involving 150,000 participants, shows a significant rise in bullying, with 10% of boys and 9% of girls experiencing it bi-weekly.

Additionally, 23% report experiencing violence from peers, marking an increase from previous years.

Despite these challenges, there is a noted decrease in loneliness and psychological distress among young girls.

The findings underscore the need for continued efforts to address bullying and support youth mental health.
