Data, Democracy, and Youth Engagement: Proceedings of the PULSO Symposium


This paper documents the proceedings of the PULSO Symposium, titled "Data, Democracy, and Youth Engagement," which explores the intersection of information technology and political participation among the Filipino youth. The study examines how data-driven insights and digital platforms influence democratic processes, voter behavior, and civic activism in the contemporary Philippine landscape. Key discussions focus on the challenges of digital literacy, the impact of social media on political discourse, and the role of academic and civic institutions in fostering informed youth leadership. By synthesizing perspectives from data scientists, political analysts, and student leaders, the research highlights the potential of technology to enhance transparency and inclusivity in governance. Ultimately, the proceedings advocate for strategic interventions to empower young citizens as critical and active participants in the country's democratic future.
