Aktywność polityczna młodych dorosłych we współczesnej Polsce

Abstrakt

This article presents the activity of young adults in the political sphere and its impact on the state of Polish democracy. Young people have a low interest in politics compared to other age groups. The decreasing involvement of young citizens in traditional forms of politics is reflected in lower voter turnout and lower participation in political organisations and parties. This is a consequence of declining trust in public institutions, as well as a feeling of a lack of influence in the political affairs of the state. Nowadays, young people are increasingly turning to alternative forms of civic and political engagement, which include being active on the Internet, signing petitions, or participating in protests and street demonstrations. At the same time, the low level of interest in politics and the decline in political participation of young adults raises questions about the state of Polish democracy. In the future, this may even pose a fundamental threat to the state’s political system.
