Does anti-immigrant sentiment correlate with gender conservatism?
This study examines immigration attitudes across eleven West European countries and a Dutch panel spanning 2007-2019. It reveals:
➡️ Immigration Attitudes Stable: Consistent over time during the refugee crisis (2015) and across birth cohorts.
➡️ Gender Egalitarianism Evolving: Views on gender equality change through life cycles and generational shifts, but not immigration perspectives.
➡️ Cohort Differences: Younger generations show weakened links between egalitarianism and anti-immigrant sentiment compared to older individuals.
➡️ Policy Implications: As support for gender equality grows among some voters, resistance may persist on migration issues due to their stability.
