Children and young people in schools in deprived areas show worse school results than in other areas in Sweden. This is shown in a study by the Swedish National Board for Youth Affairs.
Of those young people who have parents who are workers, just over 50 per cent plan a longer education, while those who have parents who are higher non-manual employees, over 80 per cent do so. That is shown in the Swedish National Board for Youth Affairs' study Young People with Attitude from 2007.
