Gendered political behaviour: examining political socialisation and gender gaps in political attitudes across time and space

Abstract

This panel examines gendered patterns of political behaviour across attitudes, identities, and the life course. The papers analyse gender differences in nativist attitudes, gender equality attitudes among youth, partisan identity formation, and long-term trends in public opinion. Using evidence from Britain, Finland, Canada, and cross-national data, the contributions highlight how gendered political behaviour is shaped by socialisation, migration background, ideology, and historical change. Taken together, the papers demonstrate that gender gaps in political behaviour are dynamic and context-dependent, emerging at different points in the life course, changing over time and generations, and varying across issue domains.
