Which are RWPP switcher voters gender-based needs?
What is the goal of UNTWIST ?
UNTWIST assesses how different gender-based needs are located in regard to different existing policies and practices in six European countries.
Why analyze RWPP voters gender-based needs?
There is little empirical evidence regarding how and why voters of traditional parties move to emerging right wing populist parties with discourses clearly opposed to gender equality. We explore the relation between gender and changing voting preferences.
Analizing RWPP voters discourses
We carried on 18 Focus Groups in Spain, UK, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and Hungary with voters of RWPP who has previously voted for traditional parties.
Separating the groups by sex helps prevent people from holding back or worrying about saying something that might offend the other sex.
Focus captures how participants understand "the gender problem" or "their gender problem", as something related to particular policies, actors or discourses.
For example, female participation in the labor market (economic domain) can be framed in relation to policies (positive discrimination or quotas), in relation to actors (feminist movements), and/or in relation to discourses (women’s emancipation).
Circles’ size are proportional to the number of times a particular domain or focus appear in discourses.
A line connecting two codes (domain and focus) means that they have been mentioned together by participants in their discourses.
Lines’ color and width are proportional to the number of connections between a pair of codes in participants’ discourses.
