TORRES, Leonor Lima; PALHARES, José Augusto  e  ABRANTES, Pedro. Democratisation and school inclusion: spaces and contexts for student participation in school organisations in Portugal. Sociologia [online]. 2025, vol.52, pp.109-142.  Epub 30-Nov-2025. ISSN 2182-9691.  https://doi.org/10.21747/08723419/soc52a4.

This article analyses how participatory experiences in and out of school are related to more inclusive pathways and democratic citizenship. Based on data from a national survey of 10th grade students (n = 241.341) administered in 2008, 2011, 2014 and 2017, the participatory experiences of young people in school and non-school contexts are analysed. The results show the persistence of inequalities associated with socio-economic origin and gender, exposing the limitations of spaces for participation and questioning the democratising role of schools.
