La investigación tuvo como propósito explorar las características de la cultura política de los jóvenes de universidades públicas de las ciudades de Arequipa, Trujillo, Iquitos y Ayacucho. Se pretende demostrar que los jóvenes no están desafectados de la política ni de los asuntos públicos del país. Se optó por la investigación cualitativa para conocer, a partir de las experiencias y perspectivas de los estudiantes, sus percepciones, valoraciones y actitudes sobre el sistema político local, regional y nacional. Se buscó conocer qué incidencia tiene la información de los medios de comunicación en la formación de su cultura política y si los medios digitales contribuyen o no a nuevas formas de participación ciudadana. Se aplicaron 8 grupos focales a un total de 71 estudiantes de ciencias, de humanidades y ciencias sociales, entre 17 y 28 años y 8 entrevistas a experto...

Computer fraud is a crime that increased in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in the world, and Peru was no exception. Therefore, we were interested in gathering Peruvians’ perspectives on the use of the press and social media in the dissemination and, eventually, their participation in a digital financial literacy strategy, as a preventive measure to avoid further losses from this crime. A survey of 429 residents in Metropolitan Lima and interviews with 25 victims of computer fraud revealed that Facebook and conventional television are the platforms most used to learn about the modus operandi of crime; that the majority do not share their experiences in the media because they distrust them or perceive that they do not contribute to clarifying their complaints. The study proposes a minimum informative strategy that the press could consider in its daily work, to guide people on how t...

El estudio se propone como una continuación del realizado en el IDIC sobre jóvenes y política en Lima Metropolitana durante los años 2015 y 2016, con jóvenes de universidades públicas y privadas. Los hallazgos alcanzados plantean la oportunidad de proponer un estudio en algunas ciudades representativas del Perú, Arequipa, Trujillo, Iquitos y Huancayo, que permitan confrontar la información obtenida en Lima. Se busca conocer si los universitarios en las ciudades seleccionadas tienen un interés en la política nacional y regional y cuánto inciden sus vivencias locales en la identificación y comprensión de los problemas que aquejan a la sociedad peruana. Si la Universidad en dichas ciudades aporta en su interés, conocimiento y compromiso con la solución de éstos; y si los forma como ciudadanos críticos. Asimismo, qué conceptos y opiniones tienen sobre la democracia, los par...

In Peru, young college students have leading roles in social protest mobilizations even when they seldom belong to political organizations. This study aims to analyze the perception of current politics and its institutions among young college students, and to inquire into their interest on relevant events at their surroundings and into the importance gained by the media and the social networks concerning their information. The purpose of this project is also to examine the role assigned by college students to the university as a space of personal development and reflection. This project was carried out in Lima, Peru, directed to youngsters aged 17 to 25 from public and private universities. Opinions have been collected through six focus-groups and a survey applied to more than 400 students. The analysis concludes that college students distrust profoundly political parties and formal poli...
