What Matters? Changes in European Youth Participation

Abstract: During the twentieth century, theoretical and empirical studies aimed to analyse changes in individual participation and in social and political dynamics.

Employing data from European Values Study researches, we test if and how structural variables and contextual dynamics affect political involvement and its changes, with particular attention on youth involvement.
