School and work reading quota of youth in France in March 2022, by gender and age
In the beginning of 2022, the "Centre national du livre" (CNL) launched a survery to examine the reading habits of the youth in France and to have a better understanding of their reading motivation or their lack of it. The respondents of the survey were asked how many books they had been reading in the previous three month, either for school and work, or for personal pleasure. According to the source, the number of books read out of necessity remained relatively stable throughout the different age groups, reaching an average number of more than two books for boys and girls aged seven to nine (2.4 and 2.8 books) as well as male readers aged 20 to 25 (2.5 books)
