The bad economic situation of youth can feed the equation in the European Union
propagandaWhat if the attacks on women’s rights in Europe are paid partially, With economic factors? According to a study conducted by the European Policy Center (EPC), the standard of living of youth It will explain part of the rise of a counter -speech.
Its author, Javier Carbonil, does not question the current cultural battle, but he wants to add an economic dimension to the discussion. “What we know is that young people face difficulties with regard to income, heritage, purchase and access to housing And above all, the educational level. In this sense, they failed the young women, “explains the EPC analyst.
The gender gap in educationFor example, it continues to increase for women. In Europe, 48 % of people between the ages of 25 and 34 have a title, but only 37 % of men. Since 2010, The prices of housing increased by 47 %, and I got up 18 %A lot of wages along with inflation that affects the West. In southern Europe, many young people leave home until after 30 years, which means that they are not independent until they stop belonging to this category.
These difficulties often affect young people from the least preferred social classes. The most handicrafts disappeared, It has been replaced by computer machines or software. The analyst says that these structural changes would have aggravated children’s conditions. A decrease can be used very insulating networks To make them believe that their situation is a mistake A common enemy: In this case, womenAlthough there are many other groups referred to.
Girls turn to the left. Children to the right
In the European Union, women win 12.7 % less than men. But the trend arises. For the first time in Finland, Malta, Greece, France and BelgiumWomen under the age of 25 earn more than men. However, the salary remains a strong sex sign, as the document indicates.
In the context of increasing economic difficulties affecting European societies, the extreme right enables some of these young voters. According to European election studies (ES). 17.2 % of young people under the age of 25 voted to an extremist right party In the last elections of the European Parliament. This number is almost dual young women (9.5 %) who voted for the same matches. According to Javier Carbonell, this political division creates a new gap between generations. “This happens especially among the youngest population. At the oldest population, women between the ages of 35 or 55 years more or less than the same chances of voting for the extreme right as men,” he explains.
The analyst adds that the impact of this trend goes beyond sexual issues. Young extremism can also affect policies Environment, immigration and economic redistribution By choosing extremist matches. To protect women’s rights, the analyst suggests that it is not sufficient to combat Al -Mujahidini discourse and demes women. Carbonel asks those responsible for finding it as well Economic solutions for all through housing policies This offers views of the labor market.
The document confirms that these measures should not be adopted at the expense Women’s support policies. On the contrary, efforts should also be accelerated to improve the representation of women, its income and safety, in order to contribute to more security for all young people.
