abstract: 'Increasing wage inequality, strong labour market divides and welfare
retrenchment are widely believed to result in more polarised public
opinion towards the welfare state. The present study examined if
attitudes towards workfare policies have become more polarised in Europe
over recent decades. To achieve this aim, the study analysed public
opinion data from the European Value Study (EVS) from 23 European
countries in the years 1990-2008, using multi-level regression analysis.
It is found that individuals who are most affected by workfare - the
unemployed, the poor and the young - most strongly oppose workfare
concepts. Against expectations, there was no evidence of an increasing
polarisation of attitudes in Europe. Attitudinal cleavages based on
employment status, income and education have remained stable.
Differences between age groups have even dissolved because younger
cohorts increasingly favour strict workfare policies. The results
suggest that warnings of increasing social conflicts and an erosion of
solidarity in European societies are exaggerated.'
