Political disengagement among youth can lead to a host of consequences, including diminished representation and decreased accountability in governance. When young people feel disconnected from the political process, they are less likely to vote or engage in civic activities, leading to policies that may not reflect their interests. This disengagement can foster apathy and contribute to the perception that politics is unresponsive, creating a cycle where their voices remain unheard, perpetuating their disinterest in future elections.
