Résumé du document

"Youth have to be Very Much involved in Elections in the Third World. Either by Voting or by Presenting themselves as Candidates." Bouzid Reda Youth have in many ways involved in politics depending on the needs of their home country. Underdeveloped countries are the ones that need more political activism by young people.
