Older individuals are often more politically engaged than younger individuals. This study examines the relationship between age and the likelihood of contacting a politician or civil servant based on data from the General Social Survey (GSS). The variable "RAGE" (age categorized) is recoded and used to analyze the relationship. The data from 2014 is used for the analysis. The table below shows the crosstabulation of age and the variable "CNTCTGOV" (how often individuals have contacted a government official).
