“…In the Nordic countries, however, the relative homogeneity in terms of high trust towards institutions and other people (Piterová and Vyrost, 2019) may have led to a less clear pattern of welfare support. Likewise, lower levels of inequality and less widespread poverty risks in these countries (Kulin and Svallfors, 2013) suggest higher levels of socio-economic homogeneity within their populations, which could also lead to fewer differences in welfare support between social groups.…”

PurposePublic willingness to pay for extra public benefits and services may demonstrate a tension between the common good (more services) and economic motives (higher taxes for all). In this article, the authors present an analysis of this trade-off by drawing upon the Bourdieusian theory of social reproduction and habitus.Design/methodology/approachEmploying the European Social Survey (2016), the authors first examine the patterns of relationships between the agents' position in the social structure and their attitudes across care regimes in Europe. The authors then analyse whether this link is mediated by agents' individual trajectories and dispositions, such as their beliefs towards equality or tradition, political orientation, or religiosity.FindingsThe findings support the importance of both sociation and individuation in habitus formation, albeit to varying degrees across the regimes. Individual attitudes are therefore shaped not only by interests of reproducing or maximising social positions but also by more reflexive propensities to think about the common good.Originality/valueIn this article, the authors draw upon the theory of social reproduction and habitus by Pierre Bourdieu, who has been thus far rarely employed in the study of welfare attitudes. The article also contributes to the literature that studies the trade-off between the expansion and financing of reconciliation policies.

“…As a future research lead, considering the existing data is to assess the extent to which welfare attitudes in European countries are affected by contextual factors, such as the presence of crisis or pre-crisis (Piterová & Výrost, 2019). The ESS scale could also support longitudinal studies of cross-national data due to the increasing importance of this area (Davidov, 2008).…”

“…Svallfors (2013) approached the concept of quality of government, confirming that the perceived quality of government and egalitarianism influenced attitudes to social spending and taxes. The research into types of welfare attitudes is still beginning and explores differences in interpersonal and institutional trust and values (Piterová & Výrost, 2019). Daniele and Geys (2015), within a similar approach, concluded that interpersonal trust has a positive relationship with welfare state support.…”

“…Attitudes to the welfare state are firmly embedded in citizens' value orientations (Kulin & Meuleman, 2015). The analysis of welfare attitudes reveals significant differences in interpersonal and institutional trust and basic human values (Piterová & Výrost, 2019). Based on the role played by the Government in welfare providing (Gryaznova, 2013) and considering the reviewed literature, this research aims to understand the influence of human values on the role of GSES.…”

“…According to Piterová and Výrost (2019), it is possible to analyse a welfare state regarding its level of solidarity, range of government responsibilities and universality of benefits. The government's role is crucial because it must offer a state of welfare to citizens, namely through a diversity of services such as health care, unemployment benefit, housing expenses, pensions and security.…”

This study investigates whether there is an influence of welfare values on the importance of Government being Strong and Ensuring Security (GSES). Based on secondary data obtained from the European Social Survey database, gathered in 2016 (N = 44.387), eighth round, to measure the 10 values from Schwartz's study in 1992, value theory, containing responses from 23 countries. A linear model regression was used to obtain a parsimonious model that could explain the dependent variable GSES by independent variables benevolence, universalism and self‐direction, power and achievement, conformity, tradition and security and hedonism and stimulation. All dimensions were statistically significant to explain the dependent variable. This study contributes to a reconfiguration of values circumplex developed by Schwartz's study in 1992, adding a new layer that reflects each factor's importance weight, centred on explaining the importance of GSES.

We aim to evaluate relationships between gender equality, perceived distributive justice and wellbeing in the European Union (the EU). Further, this study includes an analysis of the moderating effects of gender and management position on the gender equality-distributive justice and distributive justice-wellbeing relationships. European Social Survey (ESS) Round 9 (2018/19) data file edition 3.1 was used for data analysis. Using probability sampling, ESS Round 9 data were collected in 27 European countries through computer-assisted personal (face-to-face) interviewing. The sample of this study consisted of 20 013 respondents (49.3% female) aged 18 and older (mean age – 44.8 years, std. dev. – 12.365) from 23 European Union countries. Results showed that a higher level of gender equality at work was related to higher employees’ satisfaction with life. Perceived job opportunities mediated the relationship between gender equality at work and employees’ satisfaction with life. Employees’ gender and management position moderated the relationship between perceived job opportunities and satisfaction with life. However, neither employees’ gender nor management position moderated the relationship between gender equality at work and perceived job opportunities.
