2021 YOUTH STUDY CZECHIA SECURE PRESENCE, CHALLENGING FUTURE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study focuses on the youngest generation of Czech citizens by exploring a broad range of important elements in their lives, including their current housing situation, educational status, life ambitions, and opinions on politics and political participation. This study is inspired by a slate of similar surveys of youth in other European countries over the last couple of years. Czech youth were surveyed simultaneously with youth peers from other countries of the Visegrád group(V4- Czech Republic, Slovakia,Poland and Hungary) and from the three Baltic states in April, June and July 2021. Both quantitative – surveying 1,500 respondents 15–29 years of age through online question­naire – and qualitative – conducting three focus groups and ten in-depth interviews – methods were used. 1 | YOUTH STUDY CZECHIA
