ESS-16 / Gender, work & age
Equality, until the policy starts
Where do people support gender equality in principle but resist the policies required to produce it?
PlannedFlagshipResearch question, not a published result
The question
Look for agreement on equal treatment and disagreement over the measures, costs and responsibilities it implies.
What the analysis will test
- Primary quantity
- Item-validated principle-policy differences in the Round 11 gender module.
- Evidence
- ESS rounds 11. Modules: gender.
- Primary comparison
- Equality implementation-gap comparison. The final form depends on validated data and uncertainty.
- Publication threshold
- Pinned source editions, reviewed questionnaire comparability, survey-design-aware intervals, disclosure checks and reproducible aggregate outputs.
What this evidence does not prove
An apparent gap can reflect different question wording or policy preferences, not necessarily inconsistent beliefs.
The ESS interviews different probability samples in each round. It measures structural differences and change, not today's mood or the same individuals over time.
