Clipping Board » Environmental Pollution & Change ─ How dirty the human heart is, how dirty the environment will be...
(Central News Agency reporter Liu Jiayun, Taipei, 17th) The Xiangyang Public Welfare Foundation released the annual "Youth Misery Index" survey report this morning. The results show that the average misery index for teenagers in 2005 was 61.29 points. Among the five indices under the "Government Actions" category, including environmental pollution, political chaos, lack of legal protection, confusion over educational reforms, and chaotic traffic order, these ranked as the top five factors contributing to the youth misery index.
The youth misery index survey is divided into five major factors: school environment, family influence, social context, future development, and government actions. Each category is further subdivided into five smaller items. The survey found that the average misery index for government actions was 73.5 points, making it the most distressing factor for teenagers.
The Xiangyang Public Welfare Foundation analyzed the scoring rates of each item and pointed out that the top-ranked factor in the 2005 youth misery index was "severe environmental pollution," with a misery index score of 79.8 points, representing the "most painful aspect" for teenagers. This reflects that over the past year, teenagers felt the government had not made significant progress in addressing environmental issues.
The second-ranked misery index, "political chaos and disorder," scored 75.4 points. The Xiangyang Foundation noted that this year's score for political chaos increased by 2.4 points compared to last year, indicating that teenagers perceive politics as becoming even more chaotic, causing them to feel anxious about the future.
The third-ranked misery index, "lack of legal protection," scored 73.4 points, an increase of 1.2 points from last year, showing that teenagers are deeply concerned about the loss of social justice. The fourth-ranked factor, "confusion over educational reforms," scored 71.4 points, the same as last year, indicating that teenagers feel education policies are being swayed by political systems, leaving them at a loss.
The fifth-ranked factor, "chaotic traffic order," scored 68.6 points, an increase of 2.4 points from last year, demonstrating that teenagers are highly frustrated with the disorderly state of traffic.
The 2005 Youth Misery Index survey was conducted by the Xiangyang Public Welfare Foundation from September to November this year, sampling students from 20 junior high schools, high schools, vocational schools, and five-year colleges across Taiwan. The survey used a Likert five-point scale, with a maximum score of five. A total of 2,200 questionnaires were distributed, and 2,202 valid responses were collected. 941217
