| Summary |
The purpose of this survey is to compare the attitudes of young people in Japan with those of young people in other countries to gain an accurate understanding of the characteristics and problems of Japanese youth’s attitudes. Findings based on the survey results will be used as a reference to inform measures to support the development of children and youth. The Outline of the National Policy for the Promotion of Support for the Development of Children and Youth states that, as part of the system for promoting the policy, efforts should be made to enhance cross-sectoral, interdisciplinary, and international surveys and research, as well as to collect information about the current status of measures to support the development of children and youth in other countries. The six survey areas are as follows: (1) views on life, (2) state and society, (3) community and volunteering, (4) occupation, (5) school, and (6) family. *Please note that users will be required to submit a pledge when applying for data.
