Abstract
The present work draws its relevance from the under-researched nature of demographic literacy, as well as from the assumption that demographic literacy encompasses abilities and knowledge, that people need to make judgements, take decisions and participate in their society. In this sense, the present thesis constitutes a pilot study in defining, conceptualising, exploring and explaining demographic literacy. The theoretical groundwork was thereby based on literacy, as well as health literacy research. By conducting quantitative, as well as qualitative research, the present study pursued a mixed methods approach. The necessary data was thereby collected by means of an online questionnaire, as well as a focus group discussion, while the methodological approach of both studies was to a considerable extent oriented towards the Health Literacy Survey of the European Union. The target group included German Millennials (18-35 years old).
