World Vision Children's Study

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The World Vision Children's Study is a study published for the second time in 2010 by the child researcher Sabine Andresen and the social scientist Klaus Hurrelmann together with TNS Infratest Sozialforschung on behalf of the evangelical World Vision Institute for Research and Development . How are the youngest in Germany doing? It should appear every four years from 2010. 2500 children between the ages of 6 and 11 and their parents were interviewed for the study. It should paint a representative picture of the living situation, the wishes, needs and interests of children in Germany.

The World Vision Children's Studies are methodologically based on the Shell Youth Studies , which have been published since 1953 and in which Klaus Hurrelmann is also involved.

2007

The World Vision Children's Study 2007 was published on October 24, 2007 by child researcher Sabine Andresen and social scientist Klaus Hurrelmann together with TNS Infratest Sozialforschung . 1,600 children between the ages of eight and eleven were interviewed.

The children's study showed the effects of social differences on everyday life even in childhood. Children from the lower classes of origin have poorer starting opportunities. "They receive less support at school, are more often on their own, have fewer opportunities to spend their free time and as a result sit more in front of the computer and television." Boys in particular are prone to high media consumption.

Only 70 percent of the children experienced a “classic nuclear family”, ie they live with their parents who were married to one another. Only a minority of 42 percent live in a single-income family. Above all, the children of employed single parents (35 percent) and unemployed parents (28 percent) complain that their parents have too little time. (Average: 13 percent).

97 percent of the children watched TV every day. Only 1 percent of lower-class children go to high school, while 18 percent of upper-class children go there.

2010

The World Vision Children's Study 2010, based on a representative survey of 2500 children , Klaus Hurrelmann carried out a study on six to eleven year old children.

One of the results was that in highly developed countries, young men at all levels of the education system fell behind more and more in the sector of academic success. Hurrelmann called for "targeted promotion of boys in the areas in which they have their weaknesses". He concluded that there are fundamental differences in the natural disposition of men and women. "Men, for example, would like to" conquer "their environment, while women, for example, are better networkers and communicators."

The social scientist Gunnar Heinsohn concludes from the study that the one-child family is “a very burdened model in any case”. Funding deficits are increasing here. According to the study, 40 percent of six- and seven-year-olds who grow up with only one parent complain that their parents don't have enough time for them. In families where the mother works part-time, only ten percent say that.

Sabine Andresen sees the central result of the study in the discovery that the chances and perceptions of children in Germany in all areas of life are determined by their origin.
