Abstract
This chapter goes to the heart of our research question about the extent to which youth participation in democratic life may be described as being ‘in crisis’. We begin this chapter by building on our insights from earlier chapters and on data from wider research in this area. Participation by young people in democratic life on a local, national, regional or international basis is not a new phenomenon. Attention to this phenomenon, however, has been increasing.
