There is interest to social and educational topics among male school students in Germany. This is confirmed by a short study by IU International University of Applied Sciences (IU) "Social professions. What young men think about it".
However, only 21.8 percent of young men would opt for training or studying in the social sector. For 51.3 percent of those surveyed, this would be rather out of the question or not at all.
The IU short study was conducted in October 2022. 620 male pupils were interviewed. Among the respondents were “Hauptschule” students, “Realschule” students, “Fachoberschule” students and “Gymnasium” students.
