Youth Participation in Elections of Bangladesh

Abstract

This investigation is looking at the participation of Bangladeshi youth in politics generally,
and election specifically. The young populace across the world has arrived at a pinnacle of
more than one billion out of seven billion and the vast majority of them living in nonindustrial
nations like Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi youth establish 33% of Bangladesh
populace, while they are regularly included inside the formal political interaction, however,
less interested to participate in election. This is an unfortunate trend of democratic culture of
the country. Various components are prevalent to clarify the low degrees of political
participation by the youth. It is identified in the research that the young recognized different
kinds of obstructions for their participation in politics of Bangladesh. Lack of finance, lack of
political awareness and negative notion (i.e political intolerance, confrontational politics,
political violence, criminalization of politics, politicization of criminals, present political
difficulties etc.) about politics are predominant in the society. Finally, this article
recommends how the youth apathy of participation can be dealt to make them dynamic
accomplices in Bangladesh's political framework.
