4️⃣ Why? We can’t say for sure but suggest a number of explanations worth pursuing. Our exploratory analysis hints that attitudinal differences might play a role, with young women holding more socially progressive views than young men.
Hi Reto, thanks for the questions! On q1, we provide results for the interaction effects of gender, age cohort and election cycle on ptv and vote in table 1. Re q2, in Fig. 5 we kept it simple and focused on the youth only. Plenty of work on this in the future!
Hi Roderik, thanks for the question. We suggest this as a possibility in the conclusion of the paper following the discussion on age vs generational differences. Since our APC analysis shows that this might be a generational shift, we suggest the rise in support might 'spill over' over time
1️⃣ Relying on the EES 2024 data, the gender gap in far right support is much larger for the younger cohort than any other, using both reported vote choice in the EU elections and PTVs
We don't have fig3 for voting in the paper. "Just" table 1.
3️⃣ Age-period-cohort analysis suggests that this is a generational phenomenon, specific to Gen Z & Millennials.
5️⃣ Findings signal a possible further rise in FR support and growing polarisation among the youngest members of European societies.
2️⃣ Looking at the trends in far right support from 1989 to 2024, our results show that the youth gender gap is fuelled by young men
🚨 New paper out at @jeppjournal.bsky.social. We show a growing youth gender gap in far-right support, driven by young men.
