Youth lifetime gambling experience rate (2024– Youth Gambling Survey)

Definition

Share (%) of students from elementary grade 4 to high school year 3 who said they have ever (lifetime) gambled themselves — report table "Youth gambling experience rate (lifetime)". This is experience, not the gambling problem screening scale (CAGI at-risk and problem groups).

How to read this indicator

Korea Center on Gambling Problems "Youth Gambling Survey" (2024 onward · approved national statistics No. 469001). Because the survey design changed, its figures cannot be compared with the 2015–2022 "Youth Gambling Problem Survey" (2024 report, explanatory note 10) — so it is kept as a separate indicator from kcgp_youth_gambling_*. Weighted values.

Trend

⚠️ The survey population changed between rounds, so year-to-year comparison requires caution. Movement in the line may not reflect real change.
