How does the gender pay gap and voting patterns among young people in Europe relate to the rise of right-wing extremism?

The EPC study connects the economic challenges faced by young men to the rise of right-wing extremism. While women under 25 in some European countries now earn more than their male counterparts, the overall gender pay gap remains at 12.7%. Among young voters, 17.2% of men voted for far-right parties in the last European Parliament elections, almost double the percentage of women (9.5%). This economic hardship contributes to a political divide, with young men more likely to vote for right-wing parties and young women for progressive ones.

The support for Klingbeil, lacking relevant expertise, over Esken, despite calls for female representation, demonstrates the prevalence of 'male bonding' in political decision-making. This pattern was observed during coalition negotiations dominated by men, marginalizing women's contributions.
