Abstract

"Modern ideological gender gap" refers to the observation of women becoming more left-wing or liberal-oriented compared to men over the last several decades. In our previous study (Trogrlić and Todosijević, 2024), we provided comparative evidence that partly supports this observation. Namely, based on the European Social Survey data from 2018 and 2019—ESS09 (29 countries), it was found that women indeed tend to place themselves more to the left than men, but they are also significantly more likely to choose the middle point of the left-right scale. In the present study, we update and extend that analysis using two new data sets. We utilise the ESS10 (31 countries) and ESS11 (30 countries) datasets, collected between 2020 and 2022, and 2023 and 2024, respectively, and including nearly 100,000 respondents in total.
