National
Youth Survey 2005: rural and regional responses

Survey Rural & Regional Final.pdf
The
main findings of 'National Youth Survey 2005: Rural and
Regional Responses' show that regardless of where young
people live, family relationships and friendships are what
they value most. They’re also involved in their communities,
through sport, youth groups, arts and cultural activities
and volunteering. However, the differences between the two
groups emphasises, once again, that young Australians are
not a homogenous group.
