In 2023, 88 percent of young adults aged 18 to 24 rated their health as good or very good. That was 91 percent in 2020. In recent years, they were less likely to rate their own health as very good and were more likely to say that it was ‘fine’. More young people have been suffering from mental health issues since 2021. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this in its National Youth Monitor, which is based on figures from the Health Survey.

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).
