| Outline of Research at the Start |
My proposed project investigates why Japanese youth do not participate in
politics whereas British youth are re-engaging with politics.
I investigate through in-depth interviews and an opinion survey.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The project conducted in-depth interviews and an online survey to examine young people's political participation and values. Project achievements thus far are two articles and a presentation at an international conference.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
Young people are an important group to study. While we reject the idea that policy output is a zero sum game in which if old people ‘win’ then ‘young people’ lose, unequal participation among young people leads to unequal adult participation.
