The majority of young people in Germany see no point in becoming involved with politics, according to a survey. Most see too many hurdles and believe politicians don't take their worries seriously, the report said.

Summary

A survey by the Bertelsmann Foundation found that most young Germans (ages 16-30) feel disillusioned with politics, citing distrust, lack of influence, and insufficient avenues for engagement beyond voting.

Only 8% believe politicians take their concerns seriously, and fewer than 1 in 5 feel they can enact change.

Despite this, 61% still see democracy as the best system.

The findings come as Germany faces potential elections after its coalition collapse, with experts urging politicians to better involve youth on key issues like peace, education, and inflation.

    Oh, please, my friend. Articles from 2023? There has been so much discussion, so much debate, lawsuits and political action on the topic of the Pro-Palestina/Pro-Hamas demonstrations in 2024, which you seem to have missed. So maybe try to do some reading before jumping into a thread, which is totally not about Gaza to push some strange agenda?
