Youth representation in the Indian Parliament is critically low. Only 10.7% of Members of Parliament (MPs) in the 18th Lok Sabha (2024) are aged 40 or under, a sharp decline from 30% in the first Lok Sabha (1952). India has one of the world’s largest youth populations, but legislative decision-making is dominated by older politicians. The underrepresentation of youth in the parliament raises concerns about democratic legitimacy, political inclusivity, and the responsiveness of governance to youth-centric issues such as education, employment, and climate change. Legislatures often fail to grasp and respond to the needs of the modern youth. This chapter examines the structural and institutional barriers restraining youth entry into parliamentary politics, the role of socio-economic culture, electoral systems, and incumbency, and potential reforms to enhance youth representation. After analysing historical trends, electoral dynamics, and policy implications, this chapter highlights the urgent need to bridge India’s generational divide in political representation.
