Kids and Media 2023

Title (original language): Ungar & Media 2023

The ""Ungar & medier 2023"" report, published by Statens medieråd, is an  extensive statistical investigation into the media habits and attitudes of children and young people aged 9–18. The report  presents analyses of self-assessed responses from children and young people aged 9–18 years, based on a survey collection in the autumn/winter of 2022. The results sometimes apply to the entire age range 9–18 years, sometimes they are distributed across the age groups 9–12 years, 13–16 years and 17–18 years.

The study, based on data collected in autumn 2022, found that mobile phones remain a central part of young people's daily lives. Concerns persist regarding the impact of nightly mobile use on sleep and other activities, especially among teenagers. Furthermore, conflicts within families regarding the duration of mobile phone use have increased and are now the most common media-related conflict in homes with children aged 9-12.
