Young people between the ages of 14 and 29 are an active group in civil society, with a participation rate of 35%, which has remained stable since 1999. However, they are increasingly involved in less formalized associations. In this area, the proportion of those involved rose by four percentage points between 1999 and 2009. In 2009, 19% of young people in this age group were involved in self-help groups, initiatives, projects, self-organized groups and other rather loose associations (Federal Statistical Office/Wissenschaftszentrum für Sozialforschung 2013, p. 353-354).
