| dc.description.abstract | This article examines Palestinian youth’s political participation in a political context of contradictory duality: a continued Israeli occupation and a Palestinian state-building. The survey findings revealed that there is a significant gap between youth’s interest in politics and their actual participation. Political participation varies across gender, geographical locale, residence, educational level and work status. Males, Gaza residents, refugees and those with secondary and university education showed interest and willingness to participate in politics. While almost half of the interviewed have no confidence in politicians and think that they are not concerned about youth or their issues. Youth’s concerns are more social than political, and their most important aspirations and desires they have ranked embody personal advancement. | en |
