The development of consistent youth policy requires consistent and coherent information. The National Youth Monitor has therefore been developed at the request of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment, and the Ministry of Safety and Justice.
Statistics Netherlands is responsible for carrying out the National Youth Monitor. It combines the data flows required to provide the data for the Monitor. The website and the database, too, were developed by Statistics Netherlands.
