Inequality Attitudes¶
Short Description: While long-forgotten economic inequalities are coming back to the fore, there are also new inequalities that are used for political mobilization. In this module, we investigate the interrelation between and the socio-demographic determinants of three crucial types of inequality-related attitudes: preferences for economic redistribution, recognition of sexual minorities, and openness towards migration.
Methodological Details: Six self-report items. Examples include “It is the responsibility of the government to reduce the differences in income between people with high incomes and those with low incomes.” and “Homosexual marriages should be allowed and accepted.”
