Abstract:
This research project aims to investigate the factors influencing political participation among young adults. Political participation is a crucial aspect of democratic societies, and understanding the factors that motivate or hinder young adults’ engagement in politics is essential for promoting their active citizenship. This study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, to gather comprehensive data on the subject. The findings will contribute to the existing literature on political participation and provide insights into strategies for increasing youth engagement in the political process.
