Youthquake 2017

Over the past few decades, many democracies have experienced low or
falling voter turnout and a sharp decline in the members of mainstream
political parties. These trends are most striking amongst young people,
who have become alienated from mainstream electoral politics in many
countries across the world. Young people are today faced by a particularly
tough environment. From worsening levels of child poverty, to large
increases in youth unemployment, to cuts in youth services and education
budgets, public policy responses to the financial crisis have placed a disproportionate burden on the young.
