  Living Conditions Survey of Children

  The statistics show the living conditions of children aged 12-18 (10-18 before 2015). We ask children about their experiences at school, what they do in their spare time and about their well-being. The answers to these questions can also be linked to information from their parents, such as the parents' occupation, education and the family's living conditions.
