Political Engagement Among the Young: The 2016-19 Australian Election Study

该项目旨在了解青年人政治参与程度下降的情况，以期制定有助于重振青年人政治参与活力的措施。在澳大利亚和国际上，民主面临的最大挑战之一是理解年轻人缺乏政治参与。今天的年轻人比民主化以来的任何时候都更不可能投票，加入政党或参与利益集团。2016-19年澳大利亚选举研究旨在通过调查2016年和2019年选举中具有代表性的选民样本来解决这个问题。该项目还旨在补充自1987年以来监测澳大利亚政治行为趋势的一系列选举后全国民意调查。

This project seeks to understand the declining level of political engagement among the young, with a view to developing measures that will help to re-invigorate their political participation. One of the greatest challenges to democracy in Australia and internationally is to understand the lack of political engagement among the young. Young people today are less likely to vote, to join a political party, or to engage in interest groups than at any time since democratisation. The 2016–19 Australian Election Study is designed to address this question by surveying a representative sample of voters in the 2016 and 2019 elections. The project is also designed to add to an unbroken series of post-election national opinion surveys which have monitored trends in Australian political behaviour since 1987.
