Viennese youth: politics cares too much for the privileged



[ad_1]

More than 90 percent of young people aged 16 to 29 in Vienna are very or somewhat satisfied with life in the capital. This was the result of a current and representative study by the Research Institute on Youth Culture. However, women are more dissatisfied than men; At the same time, two-thirds of the 800 respondents say that women are at a great disadvantage in our society.

Satisfaction differs even more clearly according to educational level. If more than half of people with a higher education level are very satisfied with life in Vienna, this value drops to just over a third among people with a medium and low level of education. “So we see that in Vienna politics is more for the privileged,” concludes study author Bernhard Heinzlmaier. Two-thirds also think that in Austria the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer.

Integration work

If the results are analyzed according to the respondents with and without immigration history, there are hardly any important differences. For Heinzlmaier, a “very surprising” result: it shows “that integration in Vienna is going very well”.

The fact that almost two-thirds think that the Crown’s crisis management has shown that experts and not the government should decide in favor of the country should give politicians pause.

44 percent also fear politics is misusing Corona to restrict civil rights. When it comes to the breakdown by level of education, a paradigm shift can also be seen here: while in the past those with higher education were most skeptical of state power, today they are mainly the classes with less education.
