The statistic displays the results of a survey concerning the extent to which children were free to spend their pocket money entirely as they wished in the Netherlands in 2018. The survey results show a mixed response by parents, and suggest that the majority of parents retain some extent of control over their child's spending. Approximately 30 percent of respondents indicated that their child is completely free to decide, while the share of parents who wanted their child to consult them before making a purchase was roughly equal.
