dc.description.abstractThis study focuses on civic engagement and attitudes of youth attending Yangon University of Economics (YUE) in Myanmar, towards increasing understanding of gender differences in leadership and civil society activities. Interviews reveal that youth are more inclined to participate in non-political activities. Female students largely avoid leadership roles. Male youth are a minority at YUE, yet they still hold leadership positions. Civic engagement is very vulnerable to political conflict. One of few studies (2014) found little citizen engagement due to poor information, lack of freedoms, and overall restrictive norms. Currently, Myanmar is in political transition.en
