Young people age 18-30 are more inclined to take part in joint projects (72%), while representatives of the older generation agree to join forces only half as much (38%).

These results were obtained during a national survey of 2,000 Russians conducted in 2013 as part of Monitoring the Status of Civil Society, a monitoring study run by the HSE’s Centre for Studies of Civil Society and the Nonprofit Sector. The survey was supported by the HSE’s Basic Research Programme, with information collected by Public Opinion Foundation. The results of this research will be published on the monitoring study’s website.
