CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING YOUTH POLITICAL PARTICIPATION WITHIN THE ROMANIAN PARLIAMENT
Journal Title: MANAGERIAL CHALLENGES OF THE CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
Currently, when speaking about individuals participating in the Parliament elections, we mainly speak about men as candidates and elected officials. Recent years have created a shift towards women’s political representation and the matter has been under scrutiny, given the measures taken (gender quotas) and the present results. Still, a new trend has found a way into generating interest and engagement for future generations: youth as parliamentarians inside the Lower and the Upper Chambers in Romania as a way of perpetuating democracy and an agent of change. We considered different age brackets: 20 to 30, 30 to 40, and over 45, as the upper chamber has a higher minimum age requirement. To present the benefits of this underrepresented part of the population, we focused on the engagement and the inclusion of young people and their perspectives in the political process and in the work of the Romanian Parliament. Raising awareness on the youth political representation as part of the election process has become key to finding new effective policy process skills and ideas. The analysis of data showed that there is a close connection between the level of political engagement of the youth and their representation inside the law-making institution, as well as a trend concerning the continuous evolution in numbers of the youth official representatives. We recommend youth quotas to engage young cohorts as well as youth parliaments in order to attain continuity for the future generations.
