Research on the Living Conditions of the 14–19 Age Group in Budapest with Case Studies

Abstract

This research is about young people, aged 14–19, in Budapest. This essay is based on case studies which were prepared in two secondary schools and in a primary school. My main job was to work out a questionnaire and interviews with teachers and students.

I have studied what the influence is between the lifestyle and the state of health. The results are the following.

The housing conditions are important parts of the state of health among young people. Living on low salaries means living in poor housing conditions (they have to live in very small flats which are not free from dampness).

The social position of the families influences the prospects of children in their lifetime. We can say there is a big differentation of younger people.

There are many neurotical illnesses – for example depression – in this age.

In my opinion the lack of education is responsible for this situation.
