The Indonesian Young Participation Foundation (Yayasan Partisipasi Muda Indonesia) investigated several issues deemed to spark civic engagement among Indonesian youth.

Topping the list was human rights (HAM), chosen by 69.5% of respondents. The Foundation noted that this choice reveals the youth's attitude. "This demonstrates a deep concern for justice, equality, and the protection of fundamental freedoms," the Foundation wrote in its report, Understanding Youth Engagement and Civil Space in Indonesia.

Improved access to and quality of education came next at 67.1%. According to the research team, this choice highlights the importance of educational equality and its role in creating opportunities and empowerment.

Environmental protection also ranked highly with 50.9% of the vote. "This shows that sustainability and climate issues are top priorities for young people," the research team wrote.

Beyond the top three, the proportion of issue selection was less than 50%. These issues included access to healthcare, employment, inequality, poverty, and the protection of vulnerable groups.

Here is a complete list of issues considered to encourage youth civic engagement:

Human rights issues: 69.5%
Improved access and quality of education: 67.1%
Environmental protection: 50.9%
Access to healthcare services: 49.7%
Employment and economic growth: 48.1%
Reduction of social and economic inequality: 40.6%
Poverty alleviation: 40%
Food security and natural resource management: 35.8%
Protection of vulnerable groups: 32.5%
Other: 6.1%

This survey involved 505 respondents aged 18-25 from across Indonesia. Respondents were selected through non-probability sampling, recruited via social media and email.

The majority of respondents in three regional zones were female, particularly in the central (61.9%) and western (55.4%) regions. Males were more numerous in the east (45.1%). Non-binary and gender-diverse respondents were most prominent in the west.

The majority of respondents had a high school education (49.1%) and a bachelor's/D4 degree (44.8%), while the remainder were distributed across vocational education (3.2%), junior high school (2%), postgraduate studies (0.8%), and elementary school (0.2%).

Data was collected from November 2024 to March 2025 and published in the April 2025 edition.
