Most of the young people claim that they do not want to participate in party political activities and are ready to leave the country, as VOA reports.
The National Youth Network and CRCA have just completed the "Youth in Albania 2019" Survey, interviewing face to face and telephoning hundreds of young people in 12 districts of the country.
The study authors claim that the main problem facing young people in their responses is the unemployment, in addition to their distrust of political parties.
The survey found that over 50 percent of young people hope they will not take part in the election. Claudio Pulaha, one of the authors of the Survey, claims that over 70 percent of young people think about emigration and are about to leave the country as soon as they have the opportunity to work and live in another state.
Young people have expressed in the survey that they have lost confidence in the senior administration as well as in the local government, where over 80 percent of the respondents said the municipality did not listen and did not open their doors to examine their concerns.
The national survey showed that the investment for the youth is highly unsatisfactory for 75% of the youth, while the youth budget is 0.05 percent, many times less than the minimum.
The government, in turn, states that the youth unemployment is at the historic minimum, and is implementing strategies for addressing youth problems and covering their budgets, both in gymnasiums and universities.
