The aim of this research was to conduct a literature review of landmark research pieces and major policies in the field of youth political participation to support the design of EPD programmes. Undertaking a desk review to identify landmark research pieces and policies relating to youth political participation led to the creation of this report, which presents a chronological literature and policy tracker. The report is divided into two sections: the first covers academic literature related to youth political participation, and the second describes four distinct epochs of policymaking relating to youth political participation
