Drawing on data from >3,400 youth wing members in 🇦🇺🇦🇹🇩🇪🇮🇹🇪🇸, we find that: 1) women are more likely to join for social reasons & men for material ones; 2) this is partly because women are more likely to know someone close (family/friends) in a party/youth wing before joining.

I look forward to discussions about youth pol participation with @stefaniebailer.bsky.social@janabelschner.bsky.social@niklasbolin.bsky.social@zeljkopoljak.bsky.social@hferrinholopes.bsky.social@kirareneekurz.bsky.social Sofia Marini, Aksel Sundström and Clint Classen! And to visiting Aarhus 🙂
