The statistic displays the results of a survey of the share of 11-16 year olds eating candy or chocolate every day in the Netherlands from 2001 to 2017, by level of education. The survey results suggest that over the time-frame considered the share of youths who ate chocolate or candy daily decreased for both students in the final year of primary education (in the Netherlands commonly referred to as "groep 8") as well as secondary school students. As of 2017, approximately 27 percent of youths surveyed at both education levels ate candy or chocolates on a daily basis.
