“…As well, the closure of schools and the economy has meant that many parents have had to work from home while simultaneously taking care of their children. On average, women are much more likely than men to take on child-care responsibilities (Alon et al, 2020;Goodyear-Grant, 2020) and so are left with less time and money to engage politically (Solt, 2008;Verba et al, 1995). As a result, we expect the following:…”

“…Resources are also crucial in the framework of Emmenegger, Marx, and Schraff (2017), which is the only paper, to the best of our knowledge, that has ever analysed how past unemployment spells influence electoral participation. Emmenegger, Marx, and Schraff (2017) build on the civic voluntarism model of Verba, Schlozman, and Brady (1995): they posit that unemployment periods impair not only economic resources but also the civic skills associated with workplace coordination and union membership, which bolster participation (Radcliff, 1992).…”

Does unemployment increase or decrease electoral participation? A considerable body of work has examined this classic question, focusing on individual and contextual unemployment. However, this literature has scarcely examined the role of past experiences of unemployment, and not yet addressed their interaction with contextual unemployment. In this article, we extend the framework of unemployment scarring to study electoral behaviour. First, we posit that unemployment scars decrease electoral participation. Second, we formulate competing hypotheses on the macro–micro interactions between unemployment rates and scarring at the country, NUTS1 and 2 levels. We test these hypotheses relying on Rounds 4–8 (2008–2016) of the European Social Survey, for 26 countries. Results from logistic regressions with country and year fixed effects indicate that citizens with long unemployment scars are 9% less likely to vote than the non-scarred. We further find that higher unemployment rates at the sub-national levels slightly increase turnout, while there is no significant effect at the country level. For the sub-national levels, we find that lower unemployment rates exacerbate the individual scarring effect on turnout up to 13%. These findings remark that the framework of the scar effects of unemployment further illuminates the relationship between social stratification and political behaviour.

“…The influence of teachers is reflected in their transfer of knowledge about citizenship to students. Also, young people are forming certain political positions when discussing important social and political issues (Kudrnáč, 2015;Verba et al, 1995).…”

The paper focuses on studying the liberal-democratic values in the general education of Georgia. Based on the social interaction approach of political socialization, the article assesses pupils’ and teachers’ positions towards the liberal and democratic principles and values that have been declared policy goals of Georgia since 2004. Using DAP (Democracy-Autocracy Preference), DPE (Democratic Performance Evolution), and initially tested Lib-Dem (Liberal-Democratic) scales, 297 students and 121 teachers were surveyed. Results show that teachers demonstrate more liberal-democratic positions than pupils. Also, girls tend to be less supportive of authoritarian governments and share more liberal approaches than boys. A similar trend is observed comparing students from private and public schools. The type of school correlates to teachers’ results in supporting liberal and democratic positions. However, the more liberal-democratic positions the respondents share, the more likely they believe that “Georgian” and “Liberal” are incompatible. Also, respondents who see Georgia as a democratic country and are more proud to be members of Georgian society share less liberal and democratic principles and vice versa. The study shows how liberal and democratic declared and policy ideas are supported among respondents and what it means to Georgia and its education system. Based on the results and discussion, new research questions are articulated dealing with gender, the generation gap, and the importance of the type of school that needs to be examined more carefully using the social interaction approach and qualitative methods and techniques, as well.
