A while back, I did see a static that showed that Japanese "youth" have the lowest voter turn out rate of any developed nation. That's by percentage. The low birthrate is partly the cause of that. Why bother to vote when your demographic isn't statically relevant anyway? It causes a feedback loop. The other issue is that they're barely surviving mentally. It's just grind and grind and grind. Who has time for relationships or activism?
