NOW OPEN!
What is the Youth Voice Census?
The census is open to anyone aged 11-30 living in the UK. Every year thousands of people complete the survey, last year we had over 8000 responses – all these answers help inform real changes within government and help shape the future of youth employment, education and training.
We really want to hear from young people from rural areas, it is their chance to get their voices heard and share how they feel about life, work and education in their region. The census is the largest survey of young people in the UK.
Key information about the census:
- The census is anonymous – we take privacy very seriously!
- There are no right or wrong answers
- The survey takes between 10-40 minutes to complete depending on your answers
- You can start and stop as you need, saving your progress as you go
What young people have said about the census
“I’ve completed this survey every year since 2022! As an apprentice, I love sharing what I really think about study and work, and it only took me 20 minutes to do.”
