The statistic displays the results of a survey regarding the frequency of reading books among youth in the Netherlands in 2018. The survey results suggest that as of 2018, a relatively small share of youths aged between 12 and 25 years read paper or digital books daily. Just below ten percent of respondents indicated that they read books in paper or digital format on a daily basis, while close to 30 percent of youths surveyed indicated that they never read books.
The results have been weighted to represent the entire population.
This question was phrased by the source as follows: "Kun je hieronder aangeven hoe vaak je de volgende dingen doet in je vrije tijd: boek lezen (papier dan wel digitaal)?" (English: Can you indicate below, how often you do the following things in your free time: reading a book (paper or digital)?)
