Young people aged 15 to 17 years in the Netherlands say they have little interest in politics. Once they are entitled to vote when they turn 18, they do start to find politics more interesting. At the same time, young people place a great deal of faith in politicians, more so than the older generations. This is evident from new figures on political engagement from a large-scale survey on social cohesion and well-being conducted by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).
The survey ‘Social cohesion and well-being’ was conducted over the period 2012-2018 among nearly 54 thousand persons in the Netherlands aged 15 years and up. It includes questions on engagement in political issues and levels of trust in Parliament and in the European Union.
