Reconnecting Government with Youth 2002

Reconnecting Government With Youth examines the connection between young people in Canada and the federal government. The study examines youth expectations of government and what roles they feel it could or should play. Attachments to country, views on the economy, work, culture, internet usage, political engagement, and media consumption are considered. 2,445 Canadians from across the country, aged 12-30, participated in the 2002 survey. This participation consisted of an initial sample of 2,005 respondents followed by a subsequent sample of 440 minority language respondents (e.g., anglophones in Quebec; francophones in the rest of Canada), also aged 12-30. Those under the age of 18 were sourced through their parents, who are panelists in the Ipsos Consumer Panel. Accompanying this dataset are questionnaire documentation, comprehensive statistics from the data, as well as reports and presentations to the Federal Department of Canadian Heritage and the Federal Department of Communications Canada
