Differences in Values, or Differences in Material Interests? Explaining the Divergence in Political Preferences of Young and Old in Europe and the US

如何解释最近年轻人和老年人之间的政治偏好差异(Zalc&Buruian，2019；Gonzalez-Barrera&Connor，2019)？人口老龄化会给这种鸿沟带来什么后果？为了回答这些问题，我的研究将使用系统的、比较的和定量的方法来探索欧洲和美国的这一问题。具体地说，它将回答是价值观的差异还是物质利益的差异导致不同年龄段的人有不同的政治偏好，以及这些冲突将如何在老龄化社会中改变

What explains the recent divergence in political preferences between young and old (Zalc & Buruian,2019; Gonzalez-Barrera & Connor, 2019)? What will be the consequences of ageing populations forthis divide? To answer these questions, my research will use a systematic, comparative andquantitative methodology to explore this issue in Europe and the US. Specifically, it will answerwhether it is differences in values or differences in material interests that have caused age groups tohave divergent political preferences, and how these conflicts will change in ageing societies
