Finnish Youth Survey 2000

The main themes of the Finnish Youth Survey 2000 were the Internet and information society. Young people's future plans and notions of life and society were queried. Some of the questions focused on young people's thoughts on working life. First, the respondents were asked about studying and employment. Their level of education and household composition were charted. Those who were in employment were asked about the type and duration of their contract. Next, the respondents were presented with a set of attitudinal statements on education and working, and their plans related to studying or working in the next five years were surveyed. They evaluated whether unemployment was exaggerated in Finland, whether education significantly improved one's chances of getting a job, and whether they will attain a higher social status than their parents. Further questions canvassed the Internet, communication, and information society. The respondents indicated for instance the most interesting source of information and how often and where they used the Internet. The purposes of Internet use (e.g. information searching, online shopping, chatting) were also charted, as well as reasons for non-use of the Internet. The respondents were presented with a set of statements on the Internet and the utilisation of information networks. The young people told whether they believed they will use the Internet for everyday activities in the future and whether they would like to work at home utilising information networks. Some questions pertained to young people's values and choices in life. Their views were probed for example on the significance of various aspects related to working, as well as the matters they considered important in life (e.g. striving for a high social status, opportunity to travel and see foreign cultures, spending time with close relatives and friends, taking care of oneself and one's physical condition). The respondents were also asked to evaluate what kind of things (e.g. whether income disparity will grow, whether population will be centred in few urban areas, whether insecurity will increase in society) they thought will happen in Finland in the next ten years. Background variables included the respondent's age, gender, region of residence, degree of urbanisation, education, and economic activity.

2000年芬兰青年调查（Finnish Youth Survey 2000）的核心研究主题为互联网（Internet）与信息社会。本次调研围绕青年的未来规划、生活观念与社会认知展开，其中部分问题聚焦于青年对职场生活的看法。首先，受访者需回答就学与就业相关问题，调研人员对其受教育程度与家庭构成情况进行了记录；已就业的受访者还需说明其劳动合同的类型与期限。随后，调研人员向受访者呈现了一系列关于教育与职场的态度陈述题，并调查其未来五年内就学或就业相关规划。受访者需评估芬兰的失业问题是否被夸大、教育是否显著提升就业概率，以及自身能否获得高于父母的社会地位。后续调研内容围绕互联网、通信与信息社会展开：例如，受访者需指明其最青睐的信息来源，以及互联网的使用频率与使用场景；同时记录其互联网使用目的（如信息检索、线上购物、社交聊天），以及未使用互联网的原因。调研人员还向受访者展示了一系列关于互联网与信息网络使用的态度陈述题，青年受访者需表明是否认为未来会将互联网应用于日常活动，以及是否希望借助信息网络开展居家办公。另有部分问题涉及青年的人生价值观与生活选择：例如，调研人员会探寻其对职场相关各维度重要性的看法，以及其认定的人生核心要务（如追求更高社会地位、游历体验异域文化、陪伴亲友、养护自身健康与体魄）。此外，受访者需评估未来十年芬兰的社会发展趋势，例如收入差距是否会扩大、人口是否会向少数城市集中、社会不安定感是否会增强。本次调研的背景变量涵盖受访者年龄、性别、居住地区、城市化程度、受教育程度与经济活动状况。
