Abstract

This panel features papers that together discuss the dynamics of political representation of young people, and future generations. The papers contribute to conceptual and normative discussions on the underrepresentation and misrepresentation of youth and future generations, and study differences and similarities in the issue priorities of generational cohorts of citizens and politicians. Special attention is given to first-time voters and socio-economically precarious young people, and how their political behaviour and attitudes towards representative democracy are affected by political cultures, institutional arrangements, such as lowering the voting age, and politics of exclusion.
