Percepcja nierówności dochodowych a poparcie polskich partii politycznych w latach 2007–2015
Journal Title: Przegląd Socjologiczny - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The article discusses the relationship between the perception of income inequalities and the political preferences of Poles between the 2007 and 2015 parliamentary elections. Changes in the acceptance and assessed fairness of income inequalities are examined. The impact of these changes on political preferences, in particular, the support of parties advocating an increase in the redistribution of income, is evaluated with statistical analysis on aggregated data and econometric analysis at a micro level. The analysis reveals that the perception of income inequalities, and especially the assessment of their fairness, became an important determinant of Poles’ electoral decisions after the global financial crisis. People who assessed income inequalities as unfair and too high became more eager to vote for parties that supported the redistribution of income.
