7/7 Governments could therefore increase political participation of the working-class by investing in youth groups. In Germany, at the moment, the contrary seems to be the case.

6/7 Our main finding, however: working-class children who volunteer, even when we factor in political interest, personality types and education, are almost as likely to vote as children from the highest class background (professionals).

Clara Weißenfels @clarawe.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

5/7 Also, working-class children are less likely to volunteer during youth, but once we factor in personality traits such as extraversion and openness, the gap grows smaller.

Clara Weißenfels @clarawe.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

4/7 But what we did find is that youth volunteering (spending time in organisations for a common good) increases turnout in adulthood, and that working-class citizens are less likely to vote.

3/7 So we twichted the individualisation-hypothesis (the working-class are dependent on political cues from, e.g., unions), combined it with political socialisation theory (early experiences have long-lasting impact) and found: nothing. At least for the football-experience I suspected.

Clara Weißenfels @clarawe.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

2/7 The initial thought arose from thinking about my hometown's football club #SVWaldhofMannheim, which has always had a strong presence within the working-class. So maybe training in a (slightly?) politicised context might have, in turn, activated young people.

(2/3) Diese Ungleichheiten sind auch politisch relevant. Auf dem Blog des @difis.bsky.social zeige ich, warum Kinderarmut die politische Teilhabe im Erwachsenenalter deutlich senkt. Kinder, die dauerhaft arm aufwachsen, wählen als Erwachsene mit ca. 18 Prozentpunkten geringerer Wahrscheinlichkeit.

I wanted dinner recommendations so I scraped 13,000+ London restaurants and accidentally discovered Google Maps is running a shadow economy. Anyway here's a dashboard and a political economy thesis: open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...

open.substack.com

How Google Maps quietly allocates survival across London’s restaurants - and how I built a dashboard to see through it

I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.

6/ This means that the impact of poverty is not the same for all: the less resources (education, political socialisation, longer economic hardship) --> the less likely to participate. 💭 I look forward to hearing your thoughts / whether similar patterns show up in your country 👋

041

Clara Weißenfels @clarawe.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

5/ Speaking to political socialisation literature, the paper shows that: 1️⃣poverty influences political participation in the context of parental influence and 2️⃣ early-life economic experiences shape long-term political participation patterns

131

Clara Weißenfels @clarawe.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

4/ Key finding 2: ▶️ Upward mobility, however, is not linked to higher turnout, indicating that participation patterns established earlier in life persist and mobility experiences can't uplift those who grew up in poverty.

121

Clara Weißenfels @clarawe.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

3/ Key finding 1: ▶️ Politically active and well educated parents can buffer the impact of early economic hardship on electoral participation.

121

Clara Weißenfels @clarawe.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

2/ Merging German panel data from households, parents and their children, I exploit detailed information on poverty trajectories, political socialisation and political behaviour across around 30 years of respondent's lives.

Clara Weißenfels @clarawe.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

1/ Does growing up poor always lead to political apathy? Very happy to share my first paper published (open access) in @electoralstudies.bsky.social, where I show that parents' influence mitigates the poverty gap in participation, while economic mobility does not. 🔗 shorturl.at/p5Bac
