Young people in Europe: Findings from the ESS


Substantive research that focuses specifically on the attitudes of young people will be presented at our online event from 1-3pm (GMT) on Wednesday 7 December.


Five papers will be presented during the event, with the first three showcasing analysis of our climate change and energy data.

Initial presentations will focus on climate change and wellbeing, environmental concerns and voting behaviours and attitudes towards reducing energy use.

Research to understand how the pandemic has helped shaped young people’s perspectives on the future, and attitudes towards digital technology, will also be presented.

Alina Cosma (Trinity College Dublin) and Gina Martin (Athabasca University) will examine whether young people’s mental health is negatively affected by concern about climate change and feeling a personal responsibility to prevent it.

Elisabetta Mannoni (Central European University) will tackle the question of whether young individuals are more likely to vote in line with their environmental concerns than older voters do.

Julian Reul (Institute of Energy and Climate Research at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH) will present research that assessed factors that influence the willingness to reduce the energy use of private households among three different age groups.

Laurène Thil (HIVA - Research Institute for Work and Society, KU Leuven) will reveal the results of a new survey conducted in 2022 to examine the impact of COVID-19 on young people’s opinions.

Maria Symeonaki (Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences) will present analysis of our newest available dataset measuring attitudes towards digital social contacts in work and family life.
