Data for Inclusion without solidarity : education, economic security, and attitudes towards redistribution

In this paper we use ESS data to develop the argument that university education reduces support for redistribution in large part independently of the improved material circumstances with which it is associated. While university encourages a range of progressive ideas related to cultural inclusivity, it simultaneously encourages conservative redistribution preferences that are reinforced - but only partly explained - by the economic security it tends to provide.

In short, European universities foster norms of cultural inclusion, while simultaneously eroding norms of economic solidarity.<br><br>Data record consists of tabular raw data, a replication do file, and an accompanying readme file in pdf format.
