A questionnaire in seven languages: Climate change is a concern for young people, but how does this influence their mobility choices?
English-language respondents’ group was particularly striking: they indicated they were Romanian, German, Russian, Polish, Turkish, Chinese, Hungarian, Italian, Danish, Dutch, Spanish, Scottish, Irish, Australian or Finnish nationals (one response each). Diversity here was even greater than within the German-language respondents’ group.
The average age across respondents was 21.64 (SD ≈ 3.77), with the majority between 20 and 22 years of age (20: 11.2 %; 21: 9.9 %; 22: 10.7 %). More than 60 % of respondents were between 18 and 24 years of age. The largest age group was the 20-year-olds; the smallest was the 29-year-olds.
