Gender and Political Participation

Abstract

The aim of Chap. 7 is to examine the differing levels of political participation of young men and women. Based around a number of focus groups, the emphasis is upon gendered political participation. Key questions include the following: Are young men more politically aware than young women? Do levels of political participation vary between the two groups? Young women have traditionally been the sector of the electorate least likely to cast their vote, and yet, if examination is made of specific policy areas, there are many aspects that ought to be of primary concern to women. Child care provision, the increase in cases of sexually transmitted diseases, issues in relation to women in the workplace, such as the gender pay gap, are examples of issues which ought to galvanise women to cast their vote. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
