Episode 6: Why are Mongolia's youth disengaged?
In this episode we turn our focus to Mongolia’s youth. Often described as one of the world’s youngest democracies, Mongolia has carried that label for over three decades now. But is that moniker still valid? And is the younger generation truly engaged in the democratic process, or are there barriers preventing them from taking a more active role?
We explore how young Mongolians interact with politics, what challenges discourage their involvement, and whether political apathy is truly growing — or if there’s more beneath the surface than meets the eye.
Three Universals “The Three Youth of Mongolia”:
The youth have no options
The youth are the future, but what future
The youth are hopeful, but hope doesn’t lie here
