Centro de Pesquisas sobre Governação e Desenvolvimento (CPGD) has released a new working paper:
Youth Political Engagement and their Social Condition in Mozambique
Authors: Carlos Shenga and Lorraine Howe
Date: January 2017
Abstract: A recent study in Mozambique on youth political engagement shows that youth affiliated in
political party organizations as well as in civic associations are more likely to participate in political
processes; and, as a result, receive a positive payoff from that. Whilst the attitudes of these youth are
known, the attitudes of ordinary youth (those not affiliated with youth party organisations and civic
associations) are not known. This working paper investigates the extent to which ordinary young
adults engage in political processes compared to older adults. It also examines their social condition
and the impact political engagement has on social condition, controlling for age, gender and levels of
formal education. It tests and analyses this employing a comprehensive systematic comparative
series of public opinion survey data conducted in Mozambique in 2002, 2005, 2008, 2012 and 2015
by Afrobarometer.
Key words: youth, politics, political engagement, social condition, Mozambique.
