The youth, when it comes to participating in politics, moves, mainly, according to the maximum educational level reached and attendance at demonstrations, and in the case of men, also, for their participation in the signing of petitions.
These are some of the conclusions of the doctoral thesis realized in the Faculty of Economy and Business of the University of Murcia (UMU) by Laura Lobato Escudero, with which it has obtained the qualification of outstanding cum laude.
In the case of young women, the influence received from the family environment also stands out.
This research, which has analyzed the political participation of young people from the perspective of patriarchy in Spain in the period between 2000 and 2011, has studied the same from the conventional and non-conventional planes, taking into account what Elements of sociodemographic and participation have influenced participation and what barriers have been encountered.
The conclusions are that young women participate more conventionally than men, influencing them, among other things, that they work, study, or work and study.
The doctoral thesis was directed by UMU professor María Dolores Frutos.
