Youth in Youth CarePlus; gender and age

This table provides information on the number of persons up to 18 years who received Youth Care Plus during the year. Youth CarePlus, formerly called closed youth care, is a very intensive form of specialised youth assistance in which the youth is included in an institution. There is no legal minimum age for Youth Care Plus, but the target group consists of young people between the ages of 12 and 18. In special cases, Youth Care Plus can be continued until 21 years. In order to show how young people in the Netherlands are doing, the National Youth Monitor describes more than 70 topics in addition to this topic. The topics are called indicators. Data available from: 2012 to 2014 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are definitive with the exception of those for 2014. The data will no longer be finalised. Changes as of 30 April 2018 The underlying encodings of the classifications used in this table have been adjusted. These are now in line with the standard coding established by CBS. The structure and data of the table have not been modified. When are new figures coming? As of reporting year 2015, the StatLine Table Youth in Youth CarePlus will be discontinued. Youth Care Plus was part of the Youth Care Act (2005). This law has been replaced by the Youth Act with effect from 1-1-2015. Within the Youth Act there are closed institutions, but no further distinction. As a result, the former institutions for Youth CarePlus are no longer recognizable as such. As a result, it is not possible to continue this StatLine table.
