The Prince's Trust eBay Youth Index 2019 Campaign Toolkit

More than half of 16-25 year olds think social media creates an “overwhelming pressure” on young people, reveals The Prince’s Trust

The 2019 Prince’s Trust eBay Youth Index reports on young people’s well-being and how it changes over time. Each year, the Youth Index monitors young people’s happiness and confidence in nine aspects of their life (home, employment, money, relationships, mental and physical health etc.) asking the same questions annually to allow for year on year comparison.

On Tuesday 5th February, The Prince’s Trust will publish its tenth Youth Index report since 2009. The report shows that young people’s overall wellbeing has flat-lined to its lowest level since the research was first launched a decade ago.

By sharing the findings of the report, you can help raise vital awareness of the issues facing young people today, and how The Prince’s Trust’s support and programmes help young people to make positive steps in their lives.

The tenth Prince’s Trust eBay Youth Index reveals that young people’s overall wellbeing has flatlined at its lowest levels since the study was first commissioned in 2009, and the number of young people who feel the online pressures of social media is having a detrimental effect on their lives.

Concerns about their future are rife - with almost half of young people feeling more anxious about their prospects when comparing themselves to others on social media, and one in six claiming to always or often feel panicked when seeing the lives of their friends online.

About The Prince's Trust

Youth charity The Prince’s Trust helps young people to develop the confidence and skills they need to realise their ambitions, so that they can live, learn and earn. Founded by The Prince of Wales in 1976, the charity supports 11 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed, struggling at school and at risk of exclusion.

Many of the young people helped by The Trust are in or leaving care, facing issues such as homelessness, mental health problems, or have been in trouble with the law. The programmes offered by the charity give vulnerable young people the practical and financial support needed to stabilise their lives, helping develop self-esteem and skills for work. Three in four young people supported by The Prince’s Trust move into work, education or training.

The Trust has helped over 950,000 young people to date and supports over 100 more each day.
