Abstract: Typically, associations between being unemployed and policy attitudes are explained with reference to economic self‐interest considerations of the unemployed. Preferences for labour market policies (LMP) and egalitarian preferences are the prime example and the focus of this study. Its aim is to challenge this causal self‐interest argument: self‐interest consistent associations of unemployment with policy preferences are neither necessarily driven by self‐interest nor necessarily causal. To that end, this arti… Show more

“…Young people without a higher education represent one of the most fragile market segments, with the highest risk of unemployment, more difficulties in entering the labor market, and more frequent involuntary working transitions, with respect to those who reached more elevated educational levels. They are frequently employed in temporary jobs, with undignified working conditions low pay and with scarce chances of developing their skills ( Wehl, 2019 ). Moreover, higher education is necessary to create graduates who can understand and prevent global menaces; to detect different, complex, and original solutions for these challenges; and to create a society that can contribute to well-being and satisfaction ( Peterson and Helms, 2014 ).…”

“…Another challenge to the insider-outsider model of labour market preferences refers to the causal link between labour market status and preferences for employment protection. Recent research shows that socioeconomic background simultaneously determines both the risk of getting unemployed and political socialization experiences from early childhood onwards(Wehl 2018).5 Managers and business owners are asked: 'To what degree are Labor Regulations an obstacle to the current operations of this establishment?' and the response options are 'none', 'minor obstacle', 'moderate obstacle', 'major obstacle', and 'very severe obstacle'.…”

“…Finally, Wehl (2020) argues with regard to party ties that people without party ties can be expected to show strong attitudinal change since they are unconstrained and shows this with regard to attitudinal reactions after increasing unemployment risks. This leads to the expectation that people with a central ideological position show especially strong ideological reactions to unemployment (hypothesis 3c).…”

“…In contrast, socio-cultural concerns are more important for the difference between extreme and centrist locations on the right side of the left-right axis (Lachat, 2018). This leads to the expectation that previously left-leaning people react with a left-shift to unemployment and previously right-leaning people react with a right-shift (hypothesis 3a) Hypothesis 3a suggests that ideological instability after unemployment ultimately strengthens or reinforces (Wehl, 2020) pre-existing ideological leanings. However, the opposite might be true as well.…”
