Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Previous comparative welfare state research has often suggested that the degree of labor power and the elderly population in society strongly influences how much the government spends on health, education and social security and welfare programs. However, these studies do not deal with whether labor employees or the elderly really have preferences for types or degrees of social spending. Contrary to these previous studies, I demonstrate that those who are more involved in society are less likely to support social spending increases – including people involved with religious organizations, professional organizations and labor unions. I also show that younger people are more likely to support greater social protection, people that are more highly educated are less likely to support social spending increases, and people with higher incomes are less likely to support social spending increases. These results are upheld through two waves of the World Values survey and cross nationally, which suggests that future research should focus more on the age demographic, education and income gaps in society if we hope to advance our understanding of the domestic factors that increase the pressure that governments face for greater redistribution.
