Deprivation, class and crisis in Europe: a comparative analysis

Abstract: Analysing data from an original cross-national survey conducted in 2015 in nine European democracies covering five different types of welfare regime and asking individuals a variety of questions on their deprivation during the crisis, this paper shows that there are important cross-national and cross-class inequalities in deprivation as reported by individuals in different social classes. Cross-nationally, deprivation patterns reflected the welfare regimes of the nine countries as well as the severity of the e… Show more

“…Interestingly, they find that citizens' relative deprivation and their perception about the government's role in the economic crisis contribute to push citizens vote against the incumbent, but is not so relevant for other types of political participation (Giugni & Grasso, 2019). A related analysis finds that feelings of relative deprivation in a negative economic context motivate unconventional activism but individuals in manual occupations are less likely to strike in a context of higher unemployment (Grasso, Yoxon, Karampampas, & Temple, 2019a, 2019b). 3 In what follows I layout the central argument of this article about how state‐targeted grievances and material resources interact to fuel protest participation.…”

“…This is particularly important in light of the extensive research across the social sciences over the last decade focusing on crossnational differences in income inequality and the consequences for outcomes including health, wellbeing, social trust, solidarity, and political outcomes (Huijsmans et al, 2020;Neckerman & Torche, 2007;Paskov & Dewilde, 2012;Rözer et al, 2016;Wilkinson & Pickett, 2010). Moreover, higher overall income inequality has been linked in some studies with stronger class inequalities in outcomes (Grasso et al, 2019).…”

“…While it is true that well-off young people may still be very much ‘doing politics’, it remains troubling if particularly those coming from backgrounds with lower levels of resources engage at lower rates, whether this is through activities linked to political parties and other political organisations or political representatives, or whether this is in terms of applying pressure through protest activism, community or volunteer activism or even online participation. In other words, while some healthy scepticism of ‘critical citizens’ (Norris, 1999) is very much to be welcomed in democratic societies, scepticism which leads to withdraw from those means of engagement which would allow us to have an impact on decision-making remains very problematic – particularly if it affects sectors of the population with lower resources to start with (Grasso et al, 2019) thereby reinforcing negative patterns rather than improving democratic conditions. Given the importance of this issue for democratic societies, it is a question that needs to be deeply analysed, scrutinised and the underlying empirical patterns clearly understood and documented to allow for developing means to address current woes into the future and improving the functioning of democratic societies.…”
