More young people receiving youth assistance, particularly teenage girls

In 2023, 474 thousand young people received youth care. This was 10,000 more than in 2021, an increase of 2.2 percent. This increase resulted from more young people receiving non-residential youth assistance. More girls aged 12 to 17 in particular were receiving this form of support. This is according to provisional figures by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).
