Overview
- An Argentina study reports 77% of youths feel negative about politics and most prefer democracy even as nearly half say it functions poorly.
- Argentine respondents show strong backing for state guarantees in health and education (83.1%), protections for the vulnerable (68%), regulation of rents and transport (56.9%), and higher taxes on the rich (52%).
- Youth identities in Argentina remain mixed with some rightward movement and weak party ties, and views of President Javier Milei’s direction are notably split.
- A Mexico survey of 2,000 people aged 15–35 identifies top concerns in employment, social welfare and citizen security, with about 45% considering internal migration and 40% contemplating going abroad.
- The Mexico findings point to a democratic preference coupled with low formal participation and perceived underrepresentation, and show heavy reliance on digital platforms for political information (62% on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube; 21% on WhatsApp) alongside skepticism toward influencers.
