Abstract:
A standardised questioning of 151 former pupils of a school for backward children aged 18 to 28 years on leisure-time and consuming habits, partner relations and living conditions showed a relatively satisfactory integration. There were qualitative particularities with respect to leisure-time occupations, also in dependence upon the course of education, but not with respect to consuming habits. No indications of an accumulation of alcohol abuse were found. The share of married and engaged persons was relatively small. The cohabitation age was clearly lower, the number of illegitimate children higher than among the normal population. A separate report will be given on the efficiency in vocational activities.
