Youth as a Catalyst for Change
The island-wide survey ‘Youth as a Catalyst for Change’ aimed to assess youth perspectives on politics in general. The overarching goal of this study was to understand the youth’s attitudes and expectations towards democratic politics in the country. The in-depth understanding of youth politics that this study provided, complements ongoing and future programming efforts undertaken by the SSA in enhancing political literacy, and political participation of youth. Furthermore, this study aimed to contribute to civil society efforts in enhancing youth participation in democratic politics and thereby improve the quality of democracy in Sri Lanka.
