Involving Millennials in Politics

17/04/2018
Involving Millennials in Politics preview

This paper highlights potential responses and discusses respectively:

1. Strategies to increase Millennials participation in political parties
2. Strategies to incentivise Millennials turnout
3. The importance of civic education to foster Millennials political engagement

This briefing note addresses the question of how to re-engage young people – Millennials (those born between 1980-2000, aged 15-35) – into politics and make progressive political organisations fit for this cognitively distinct demographic.
