El perfil de los miembros de las organizaciones juveniles de los partidos políticos españoles

Abstract

This research note presents the first findings of a survey conducted to members of Spanish political parties' youth sections. The text aims to establish the profile of members of youth party organizations based on socioeconomic and demographic variables as well as their political profile, in order to determine whether any differences and similarities exist in the membership characteristics of different youth sections. Whenever possible, moreover, a comparison has been made of certain variables with the whole Spanish youth population. Data shows certain homogeneity between gender and socioeconomic status profiles of the different organizations but, on the other hand, they point to some differences regarding the religious sphere and their link with the civil society.
