La présente contribution analyse la participation aux élections fédérales de 1995 dans le canton de Genève selon le genre et l'âge, en utilisant des statistiques électorales disponibles pour la première fois. Les résultats montrent que le moindre taux de participation féminine est avant tout un fait de l'ancienne génération. En sus des effets présumés de l'obtention tardive du droit de vote, la sur-représentation des états matrimoniaux favorables à la désintégration sociale (séparation, divorce et surtout le veuvage) dans ces tranches d'âge de la population féminine expliquent en partie la différence de participation électorale entre hommes et femmes. A l'inverse, le mariage, mais aussi le célibat, semblent constituer pour certaines catégories d'électrices âgées des "ressources" qui atténuent la tendance à la "démobilisation". Quelques pistes d'ulilisation de ces données dans le futur sont suggérées.
We examine the gender gap in turnout in Switzerland by analysing the 2003 federal elections. Despite being a standard component in electoral studies, the gender variable is, in most cases, only used as a control variable and its effects and interaction are too often under-analysed. We focus on individual-level factors by looking at three types of explanations for the gender gap: (1) resources, (2) political motivations and attitudes, and (3) social capital and integration. Our analysis, based on binomial logistic regression models, shows that compositional and conditional effects play an important role in explaining the persistent gender gap in Swiss electoral turnout.
