Generation Isolation is based on responses from 5,200 young people in England aged 11-18, conducted in partnership with YouGov. OnSide wanted to shine a spotlight on the social lives of young people by learning more about the 85% of time they spend outside of school.  Key findings include:

• 76% of young people spend most of their free time on screens. Whilst 52% of young people that spend most of their time on their smartphone would like to reduce this.
• 85% of young people do not attend a youth centre. 93% of young people that attend a youth centre say it has made a positive difference to their lives.

35% of young people do not have opportunities to meet new people and make friends. Whilst 29% of young people say more affordable leisure activities would make the most difference to improve their life outside of school.
