Abstract
¿Se ubican los jóvenes de hoy más a la derecha? Existe una creencia popular de que los jóvenes de ubican más a la izquierda que sus mayores. Sin embargo, hay poca evidencia empírica sobre cómo funciona la edad a la hora de entender la ideología de los individuos. En este artículo, tratamos de analizar cómo funciona la edad sobre la ideología de los ciudadanos teniendo en cuenta tanto el efecto de la edad en sí mismo, el efecto de ciclo vital; como el efecto cohorte o generacional, derivado de la socialización política. La evidencia de este artículo apunta a que los jóvenes de hoy, si bien se mantienen más a la izquierda que otros grupos de edad, tienen preferencias menos de izquierda que los jóvenes socializados en los sesenta y setenta.
Do young people place themselves on right-wing positions to a larger extent? There is a common wisdom about the natural left-wing ideology of youth, compared to adult individuals who would prefer more right lean positions. However, evidence about how age works to explain ideological preferences is scarce. In this article, we analyse how age affects citizens’ ideology paying attention to the life cycle effect, but also the cohort or generational effects, derived from the context when individuals were socialised. Empirical evidence from this article suggests that current youth, even if they keep on placing themselves on left-wing positions to a larger extent than adults, has moved to right-wing ideological positions compared to who were young and socialised during the sixties and seventies.
