Abstract

The aim of this work was to explore the associations between youth unemployment and youth engagement in gambling forms that have age limits, namely, slots, sports betting, and cards, both online and offline. Cross-country data were provided by the 2015 European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs, a school survey focused on 16-year-olds. Gambling analyses included 30 countries ( n = 81,229 respondents). Descriptive analysis with statistical plot diagrams was used and the computed coefficient of determination adopted to identify correlations. The suggested correlation was further tested by multilevel logistic regression analysis, controlling for gender at Level 1 and for the Inequality Human Development Index, gross domestic product/capita, and public health expenditure at Level 2. Underage gambling was associated with a higher degree of adolescent unemployment. The results indicate that youth unemployment is associated with underage gambling, implying that a broad public health framework is needed in the prevention of problem gambling. Resume Ce travail de recherche visait a etudier le rapport entre le chomage des jeunes et leur pratique des jeux de hasard qui comportent une limite d’âge, a savoir les machines a sous, les paris sportifs et les cartes, tant en ligne que hors ligne. Il s’appuie sur des donnees transnationales provenant de l’European Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs(ESPAD) de 2015, une enquete menee dans les ecoles aupres des jeunes de 16 ans. L’etude couvre 30 pays (n= 81 229 repondants). Une analyse statistique descriptive a ete realisee dans le but d’etablir des correlations.

La pratique des jeux de hasard en deca de l’âge limite est associee a un degre eleve de chomage chez les adolescents. Les resultats indiquent qu’il existe un lien entre le chomage des jeunes et la pratique des jeux de hasard en deca de l’âge limite, d’ou la necessite de mettre en place un cadre de sante publique elargi en matiere de prevention du jeu pathologique.

欧洲青年失业与未成年人赌博之间的关系
这项工作的目的是探索青年失业与青年参与有年龄限制的赌博形式之间的联系,即老虎机,体育博彩和纸牌,无论是在线还是离线。跨国数据由2015年欧洲学校酒精和其他药物调查项目提供,这是一项针对16岁青少年的学校调查。赌博分析包括30个国家(n = 81229名受访者)。采用统计曲线图进行描述性分析,并采用计算的决定系数来确定相关性。通过多级逻辑回归分析进一步检验了所建议的相关性,在第一级控制了性别,在第二级控制了不平等人类发展指数、国内生产总值/人均和公共卫生支出。未成年人赌博与较高程度的青少年失业有关。结果表明,青年失业与未成年人赌博有关,这意味着需要一个广泛的公共卫生框架来预防问题赌博。我的研究访问了一个研究中心,我的研究访问了一个研究中心,我的研究访问了一个研究中心,我的研究访问了一个研究中心,我的研究访问了一个研究中心,我的研究访问了一个研究中心,我的研究访问了一个研究中心,我的研究访问了一个研究中心,我的研究访问了一个研究中心,我的研究访问了一个研究中心。2015年欧洲酒精和其他药物跨国调查项目(欧洲酒精和其他药物调查项目)的调查结果,2016年欧洲酒精和其他药物调查项目的调查结果,30年欧洲酒精和其他药物调查项目的调查结果(n= 81 229份答复)。我们分析统计描述性数据和实际数据,但不确定相关性。相关性分析是在考虑性别因素、主要因素、次要因素、发展指数、人的不平等调整(IDHI)、产品内部差异(PIB)、居民因素和公共因素依赖(sante publicque)等因素的情况下进行的。在青少年的成长过程中,青少年的成长受到了极大的影响。“结果是,我们将继续存在,我们将继续存在,我们将继续存在,我们将继续存在,我们将继续存在,我们将继续存在,我们将继续存在,我们将继续存在,我们将继续存在,我们将继续存在,我们将继续存在。”
