What is life like for young Cambodians (15-30 year olds) and how are they participating in civic life? Research Briefing

Phnom Penh: BBC Media Action (2021), 6 pp.
"In our nationally representative survey, respondents were asked which values from a list they felt were most important to their lives. The three that came out top were health, education, and support from parents. Keeping their family in good health (62% very important) and having an education for themselves or their family (60% very important), are priorities for young people aged 15-30 years old. This is closely followed by having support from parents – 59% said it is very important to them." (Page 1)
