The JuMiD (Junge Menschen in Deutschland=Young People in Germany)  survey focuses on young people and adolescents between 16 and 21 years of age living in Germany. The JuMiD study aims to explore factors influencing young peoples perceptions and evaluations of current societal developments and their opinions on political and religious topics. Central issues of JuMiD are young peoples attitudes towards democracy and civil rights, the prevalence of right-wing extremism and Islamism in this age group, as well as the prevalence and social distribution of various forms of prejudices and intolerance directed against foreign groups and minorities that can be observed among young people in Germany. In addition to that the study aims to observe how juveniles and young adolescents in Germany perceive society and politics. Their needs and concerns will be analysed and their opinions with respect to recent social problems will be measured. As part of this their willingness to take social and/or political action will be looked at too. Insofar the JuMiD study seeks to gain insights into where young people perceive the need for social change and into their preparedness to actively address the actual social and political challenges our society is facing today.
