The 'Being Young In Scotland' 2005 survey was carried out by MORI Scotland on behalf of YouthLink Scotland and the Scottish Executive. This study represents the second wave of the survey, the first was carried out in 2003. The aim of the study is to provide a baseline in the evidence on what it is like to be a young person - aged 11-25 years - in Scotland. The survey's findings covered participation in youth work, volunteering, culture, arts and sports, awareness of the Scottish Youth Parliament and lifestyle issues.
