“…This contrasts with Algan and Cahuc's test of Esping-Andersen's social Catholicism thesis (2006), which included non-Christian countries such as Turkey and Japan, and Orthodox countries such as Greece in their analysis. Algan and Cahuc provide no theoretical arguments about the expected correlations, and they seem to ignore the fact that the relationship between religion and politics is often different in non-Christian countries (Kaufmann 1988;Hildebrandt 2002;Rieger and Leibfried 2004). The separation of religion and politics is not common in non-Christian countries.…”

This article explores the religious roots of job security regulations inWestern democracies by putting Esping-Andersen's famous social Catholicism thesis to the test. Esping-Andersen argues that due to religious socialization, Catholics exhibit more conservative family values, i.e. they tend to support the male breadwinner model. To sustain this model of family organization, Catholics are expected to support job security regulations. These regulations have been described in the literature as important determinants of gender-segregated labour markets and low female employment rates. Data from this article show that while Catholics indeed support more conservative family models, so do Reformed Protestants and religious persons in general. Furthermore, no relationship between religious denomination and preferences for job security regulations can be observed. The analysis thus refutes Esping-Andersen's social Catholicism thesis.
