14 December 2022 Youth work in 2021: Covid pandemic leads to all time low in number of offers and participants

The Covid-19 pandemic strongly affected everyday life of young people not only at school and day care centres but also regarding leisure and recreation opportunities. Roughly 4.4 million children, adolescents and young adults in Germany participated in publicly supported youth work offers in the second Covid year 2021. The Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) reports that this was only about half as many young people (-49%) as in 2019, the last comparative year before the pandemic. In that year, the number of participants was roughly 8.6 million young people. At the same time, the number of offers - such as holiday camps, group meetings or sport events - fell by roughly one third (-32%) to 106,700. This set of statistics, which was introduced only in 2015 and is produced every two years, thus recorded an all time low in the second Covid year 2021.
