The article concerns the phenomena of compensative consumption, shopaholism and indebtedness among children and young people in Germany. Analyses are based on the results of own research an national research conducted in Germany in 2005 under the patronage of the Federal Ministry for the Family. Altogether, the research covered children and young people aged 10–24. The results obtained indicate that the share of so-called compensative consumers among young people aged 14–24 is approximately 15%. In the same age group, the share of persons demonstrating a tendency to shopaholism is 6%. The younger age group (10–17 years of age) is characterised with less universal tendencies for compensative consumption and shopaholism –the share of persons demonstrating such consumer behaviours is by 1/3 lower than in the case of the older age group analysed. The indices describing the share of shopaholics in the general population of children and young people are not dramatically high; yet, when recalculated into absolute numbers, it turns out that 256 thousand children and young people in Germany suffer to a larger or smaller extent from the problem of shopaholism. At the same time, every eighth person aged 21–24 is excessively indebted, i.e. the debt exceeds the amount of one-month income.
