6/ This means that the impact of poverty is not the same for all: the less resources (education, political socialisation, longer economic hardship) --> the less likely to participate.
💭 I look forward to hearing your thoughts / whether similar patterns show up in your country 👋

5/ Speaking to political socialisation literature, the paper shows that:
1️⃣poverty influences political participation in the context of parental influence and
2️⃣ early-life economic experiences shape long-term political participation patterns

4/ Key finding 2:
▶️ Upward mobility, however, is not linked to higher turnout, indicating that participation patterns established earlier in life persist and mobility experiences can't uplift those who grew up in poverty.

3/ Key finding 1:
▶️ Politically active and well educated parents can buffer the impact of early economic hardship on electoral participation.

2/ Merging German panel data from households, parents and their children, I exploit detailed information on poverty trajectories, political socialisation and political behaviour across around 30 years of respondent's lives.

1/ Does growing up poor always lead to political apathy?
Very happy to share my first paper published (open access) in @electoralstudies.bsky.social, where I show that parents' influence mitigates the poverty gap in participation, while economic mobility does not.
