The UK government proposes to lower the voting age to 16 #vote16 This is a landmark moment for all the young people (+ some older ones) who campaigned for this for years. It's been a privilege to work & do research with young people on #VotesAt16 in Scotland and Wales www.jrrt.org.uk/evidence-and...

🔎 Youth exclusion isn’t apathy, it’s a global design flaw. The GYPI is the first tool to systematically measure young people’s participation in political, civic, and economic life in 141 countries.

Sarah Pickard Young people’s political participation is frequently misrepresented by older powerholders. This GYPI shows that youth is often locked-out of democratic engagement but it does not have to be that way. I hope the index will be valuable around the world to young people, researchers and policy makers Brit ANLAR Equality in representation is the key to a better democracy and a brighter today, and tomorrow. The GYPI is our way of contributing to the building of that future. We hope that young people, practitioners, and government officials will find it inspiring and useful to continue building a future that works for everyone, regardless of their age.

Meet the team behind the Global Youth Participation Index

CEDAR at @unibirmingham.bsky.social explores democracy & authoritarianism worldwide. Their research grounds GYPI in rigour & global insight.

🌍 Launch: 18 June - gypi.epd.eu

@fromagehomme.bsky.social
Professor Nic Cheeseman The best thing about the GYPI is that you can see how young people themselves feel about youth inclusion and participation around the world. We hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed putting it together. Kirstie Lynn DOBBS The energy driving the creation of the GYPI index is to support the empowerment of youth worldwide by building a network where youth bridge research and data with their activism to influence their communities in a powerful way that promotes youth inclusion and community development
