Worrying about the war and its consequences for political participation: gender analysis
(2023) SIMZ21 20231Graduate School
- Abstract
- This paper examines how worries about war affect the political participation of women and men in Ukraine. The analysis is based on secondary data from the seventh wave of the World Values Survey 2017-2020. By constructing linear regressions, I examined whether there is a correlation between the worries about the war and the political activity of women and men in Ukraine. This allowed us to see how the relationship between political participation and worries about war changed. Moreover, linear regression models were built for women and men separately. And also, I included variables which will allow me to measure the impact of having people to care in the models.

The results indicate that worries about war affect conventional political participation. This relationship is stronger for men than for women and may affect women with childcare somewhat more strongly. The research did not find an effect of worries about war on unconventional political participation.
This paper contributes to sociology and gender studies by offering an analysis of real, meaningful worries about war on the level of political engagement. Also, it is opening opportunities for further research in this area. The results of the study are important to academics, as well as policymakers and NGO workers. These results may help not only to develop the field of knowledge but also to develop more effective strategies for engaging women and men in political participation. (Less)
