Leisure 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 personal pleasure, or for school and work. According to the source, the number of books read for mere pleasure declines more or less drastically with the age of the respondents. Female readers claimed to have read more books throughout the age groups, except between 16 and 19 years.
