Conversely, 40.2% of young respondents showed no interest in politics, comprising 35.7% who are not interested and 4.5% who are very uninterested.
The KIC survey also revealed that of the 59.8% of respondents interested in politics, the majority are motivated to follow political news (80.1%), followed by those interested in monitoring the election (28.9%), and supporting a particular party or politician (15.9%).
A smaller percentage of respondents expressed interest in politics to the extent of wanting to become a member of a political party (8.7%), and an interest in becoming a politician or legislative candidate (6.9%).
The KIC survey involved 1,005 respondents with mobile phone numbers, representing the entire Indonesian demographic, with a proportion of 60.6% male respondents and 39.4% female respondents.
All respondents were from the youth group, namely Generation Z or those aged 17-26 years (50.4%), and millennials or those aged 27-42 years (49.6%).
