increased participation in political life for participants with fewer opportunities
politische Kompetenzen und Partizipation
But also the declared increased participation in political life was a little bit stronger for young people with fewer opportunities as compared to the contrast group (5,2% more YPFO said the project influenced them ‘to a greater extent’). Youth projects did raise disadvantaged young people’s interest in European issues more than for well-off youth (even if only +3,7%).

Evaluierung der Aktivität
This article is based on an inclusion analysis of the data provided by the RAY Network (Research-based Analysis of Youth in Action) with partners in 20 European countries (status 2014). The respective research instruments were developed by the University of Innsbruck, Austria, in cooperation with the RAY partners. The data of the RAY research project indicates that the Youth in Action programme (now Erasmus+ Youth) is a good tool to reach its ‘equity and inclusion’ aims. To be sure that only truly underprivileged participants are included in the ‘fewer opportunities’-sample, just having one disadvantage or obstacle was not enough. A respondent had to have at least three exclusion indicators to be in the ‘fewer opportunities’ subgroup (2,823 fit in this group).
