The civic participation domain is usually measured as part young people’s involved in a range of groups and clubs (such as youth organisations and cultural or sports organisations), young people’s participation in political elections at the local, regional, national level or EU level. Research data shows that young people in Lithuania can be characterized by a higher level of participation in voluntary organizations than older people, they are also more active in civic activities that are based on e-participation and young people in Lithuania have generally stronger belief in their power to influence political processes. However, the main challenges related to youth participation in Lithuania are that Lithuanian youth is characterized by very low level of interest in politics, weak support for political community and by weaker solidarity and philanthropic attitudes than older generations.

Researchers (Dilytė, Lazutka 2023) claim that after analyzing the case of youth participation in political decision-making in Lithuania, the existing institutional structure in Lithuania provides limited opportunities for youth to participate in politics. The essential function of young people is to provide information and decision-making rights are very limited. Young people can express their opinion on political decisions directly (in polls, questionnaires, legislative or referendum initiatives, elections, etc.) or indirectly, that is, through collective actors (through consolidated youth policy analysis, making proposals, mandatory inclusion when deliberating with young people related questions) and receive feedback. Participation in politics is associated with high costs and low benefits (very limited opportunities to make decisions).

In Lithuania, the Civic Power Index CPI is conducted every year, which also distinguishes young people between the ages of 18 and 29 (researches source is here). In the 2024 report distinguishes CPI between 18-24 year olds with an average CPI 34.8 percent and 25-29 year olds with an average CPI - 40.2 percent. According to the survey in 2022, civic activity increased in the youth group: 18-29 years old age group civic activity index 2020 – 35.4 points, in 2021 was 41.3 percent, and in 2022 decreased to 38.4 percent.. This activation of adult youth in civic activities is also visible when compared to the pre-pandemic, 2019, civic activity index average - then 18-29 years old. in the age group, the average value of the index was equal to 34.1 points.
