6 Country Reports on Youth Work - Jugendpolitik in Europa

Table 31: Participants in youth work in German municipalities
The data on participants in youth work activities is difficult to compare, as participants were
not reported for all fields and the reference periods (per week, per month, per year) are
different. The figures for Lübeck, projected to reflect annual figures, show particularly clearly
the extent to which youth work, particularly the work of youth organisations, actually reaches
its target groups. The figures for Lingen also show the performance level of youth work. The
seven youth work providers in Jork, with 23 employees and some 320 volunteers, reach
some 47,000 young people.
Comments:
1. Differences between national and local level
The data clearly shows the broad range of methods, contents and forms of youth work,
whereby the overall range is difficult to see because of the limited data on youth work. The
importance of sports as a sector of youth work is particularly difficult to show with the
available data.
