Resumen

This paper analyzes the relationship between political participation and life cycle, focusing on youth in Europe. Based on the results of the European Social Survey (2018), the study shows the consolidation of patterns of activism which diverge from conventional politics. The research also indicates that this population sector is characterized by higher levels of participation than other age groups in activities which directly contribute to the visibilization of their political interests and concerns. Finally, there are several forms of activism which respond to the structural transformations of political participation patterns of European societies.
