المستخلص

This study focuses on civic participation. Young Egyptians show low interest in participating in voluntary service programs and in joining social groups. However, they show - as many young people all over the world - that their political knowledge is poor and they show low interest in voting. Those factors were examined for the Egyptian youth and the gender differences. The study confirms that there are gender gaps in attitudes and engagement in the community because of the society limitation on girls to contact people and to move freely.
