Who supports gender quotas for company leadership? An empirical analysis of determinants of support and rejection among German citizens
After a long and controversial debate, a statutory gender boardroom quota was introduced in Germany in 2016. We examine the determinants of support for this quota among citizens aiming to identify the social groups that approve the most and those that resent the most the quota law. The approaches of self-interest, political orientation, and exposure are used to understand variation in support from a theoretical perspective. Based on data from the…
Public opinion towards workfare policies in Europe: Polarisation of attitudes in times of austerity
Increasing wage inequality, strong labour market divides and welfare retrenchment are widely believed to result in more polarised public opinion towards the welfare state. The present study examined if attitudes towards workfare policies have become more polarised in Europe over recent decades. To achieve this aim, the study analysed public opinion data from the European Value Study (EVS) from 23 European countries in the years 1990–2008, using m…
Public opinion towards targeted labour market policies: A vignette study on the perceived deservingness of the unemployed
The issue of welfare targeting is back on the political agenda in European welfare states. Benefit recipients are subject to different rules, depending on age, family status and work.

This article investigates public opinion towards welfare targeting in three policy areas – unemployment benefits, conditionality of benefits and sanctions – and uti…

Causal interpretations of how self-interest, values, and welfare state attitudes are linked have been difficult to sustain so far, as the research mainly relies on static, cross-sectional analyses. We address this empirical challenge using data from the Dutch Longitudinal Internet Studies for t…
