At Egmont, we strive to base our work and support on knowledge. We do this, among other things, through our regular publication, Egmont Insight, where we continuously produce and share knowledge and insights about children and young people at risk.
Is education only for the healthy?
Children and young people with chronic or severe physical illness dream of a future with education and employment. Yet, nearly one in four young people with a serious physical illness do not pursue an education after primary school. This is shown by new research in Egmont Insight.

Other studies
Through studies, children's voices, and best practice examples, we have contributed for several years with investigations that delve into the challenges experienced by children and young people at risk – and offered solutions.
Despite lower inflation and general economic growth in Denmark, children in economically disadvantaged families are going without meals, necessary clothing, and social activities. These children are mentally overworked and withdrawing from social communities. This was shown in studies featured in the first Egmont Insights, published in the fall of 2024.
Some children and young people struggle so much with mathematics that it hinders their life opportunities. That was the finding in the Egmont Report 2023, which focused on math difficulties.
Egmont Insights has replaced the Egmont Report
Egmont Insights has replaced the annual Egmont Report, which Egmont has published once a year for the past ten years, focusing on a specific issue affecting children and young people in difficult life circumstances. In the new Egmont Insights format, the analyses maintain the same high quality, but the format has been streamlined and modernized to make it more accessible and user-friendly. At the same time, the frequency of publications has increased, so that Egmont more often contributes with new knowledge and insights in the areas where the foundation is active, often in collaboration with others. In this way, Egmont Insights helps to sustain the long-term effort in the foundation's work to create positive change for children and young people in difficult life circumstances.
