Youth Barometer studies the values, well-being and everyday life of young people aged 15–29 who live in Finland. It has been carried out annually since 1994.
The Youth Barometer 2018 is on the theme of politics and influence in Europe. According to the results, the young people have chiefly participated by voting, with purchase decisions and by discussing political issues. 66 per cent of the young people feel that membership of the European Union has been of benefit to Finland. The share is now at its highest level in the history of the Youth Barometer.
