D1.2: Support for Democracy and its Alternatives among European Youth and Older Generations

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The aim of this preliminary study is to examine the attitudes of Europeans toward democracy. However, in order to fully comprehend attitudes toward democracy, it is essential to analyze perspectives on its alternatives. Such an analysis is also included in this study. We distinguish between young people, those in middle age, and the elderly to account for intergenerational differences in attitudes towards democracy and its alternatives. While our primary focus is on Europeans as a whole, we also pay particular attention to regional variations across Europe. Where necessary, we strive to highlight country-specific characteristics, shedding light on the unique features of individual societies.
