This book examines ways to ensure that the rights, interests and
concerns of young people are properly represented in Western
democracies. One new proposal is the introduction of youth quotas
in political institutions in order to counter the possible
marginalization of young people caused by demographic ageing and,
thereby, an overrepresentation of the interests of the elderly. The
book explores key questions regarding the implementation of youth
quotas from different perspectives, including philosophy, political
science, sociology and demography. It examines whether youth quotas
and other measures that give the young more voice and influence in
political institutions are a good means for promoting the cause of
intergenerational justice. In particular, it investigates how and
if youth quotas can be used to ensure that the environmental
interests of young and future generations are being taken into
account. In addition, the book introduces an innovative model that
would give a right to vote to minors without voting age boundaries.
The book also discusses suffrage reforms through lowering the
voting age in Western countries, as well as introducing methods
especially aimed at raising the skills of children necessary for
societal citizenship and empowerment of young citizens. The volume
will help raise awareness and knowledge about the intergenerational
implications of demographic changes in Western democracies, where
ageing societies are increasingly turning into gerontocracies. It
offers readers deep insight into how youth quotas in particular
(and others forms of youth participation in general) might be
efficient methods to ensure that younger generations are included
in the political decision making process and other activities in
society.
