Key findings from the Eurodesk Youth Info Survey 2025
The Eurodesk Youth Information Survey 2025 was carried out online between October and November 2024, in 29 language versions and across 36 European countries, gathering 7,144 responses from young people aged 13 to 35. The findings shed light on the information needs and habits of young people in Europe regarding youth information, providing a solid evidence base for concrete recommendations to improve how institutions and organisations communicate with them.
Analysis by researcher Ondrej Barta revealed that young people are generally very open to the idea of going abroad, but many obstacles prevent them from actually doing it, including not having enough time, lack of information, financial barriers and administrative problems.
The survey also looked at their motivations to go abroad, how they find information and the impact of AI. It also looked at the experiences of the 40% who went on mobility.
The analysis also considered the impact on specific groups like non-binary youth, women, young people from rural areas and younger teenagers. Follow-up thematic reports were made to dive into their specific situations.
Thematic reports
These targeted reports dive into the Youth Info Survey 2025 data for youth sub-groups facing unique challenges. They spotlight the specific needs, experiences, and mobility barriers of young people in vulnerable situations beyond general trends.
By doing so, they help youth information services understand how to better meet the needs of these groups and improve their access to information and mobility opportunities:
- Identify gaps in specific areas where youth information services are falling short.
- Tailor Eurodesk communication and support strategies.
- Improve the mobility experience for young people with specific needs.
- Ensure no young person is left behind.
