"Ahead of the Australian election, candidates, advisers and political parties
might be paying attention to what young people think. And if they’re not, they
should be.

This election will be the first in which Gen Z and Millennial voters (aged
18–40) will outnumber Baby Boomers (aged 60–79). Many of these young people
were in high school during the previous two elections.

While there are concerns about the effectiveness of civics and citizenship
education, there is also evidence young people are interested in, and active
on, many issues.

So what do young people care about most? We analysed thousands of pieces of
writing by young Australians to find out."
