현대의 성별 격차: 정치적, 사회적 의미

현대의 성별 격차는 여성이 남성보다 더 자유로워지고 있음을 보여주며, 이는 잠재적인 사회적 결과를 초래할 수 있습니다.

### 정치에서 증가하는 성별 격차와 그 잠재적 원인에 대한 탐구
* 📊 파이낸셜 타임즈의 데이터 저널리스트 존 번 머독이 여러 선진국에서 **젊은 남성과 여성 간의 정치적 격차가 확대**되고 있음을 보여주는 그래프를 공개해 트위터가 떠들썩했습니다.
* 📈 지난 30년 동안 여성이 남성보다 더 자유로워지면서 이른바 '현대의 성별 격차'가 존재해 왔지만, 최근 데이터에 따르면 지난 몇 년 동안 특히 **Z세대 사이에서 이 격차가 크게 벌어진** 것으로 나타났습니다.
* 🌍 성별 격차가 확대되면 **선진국의 결혼 및 출산율 감소**와 같은 심각한 사회적 결과를 초래할 수 있습니다.
* 🔍 다양한 요인이 성별 격차에 영향을 미치며, 연구에 따르면 **세속화가 현대의 성별 격차에 가장 큰 영향**을 미친다고 합니다.
* 🎓 오늘날 여성은 남성보다 교육에 더 많은 시간을 투자하는 경우가 많기 때문에 **교육은 투표 행동에 점점 더 중요한 결정 요인**이 되고 있습니다.
* ❓ FT 그래프에 사용된 갤럽의 여론조사 데이터는 상당한 성별 격차를 시사하지만, 일부 논평가들은 **실제 정책 선호도보다는 남성과 여성의 정치적 정체성에 더 초점**을 맞추고 있다고 주장합니다.
* 🔒 젊은 여성은 좌파로 분류될 가능성이 높지만 남성과는 상대적으로 정책적 차이가 적을 수 있으므로 **Z세대의 성별 격차를 사회적 재앙으로 규정하기 전에 데이터를 비판적으로 검토**하는 것이 중요합니다.

this video was brought to you by incog. For the past week or so, Twitter has been obsessed with this graph from data journalist John Burn Murdoch at the Financial Times, which apparently illustrates the growing political divide between young men and women in several developed countries. And it's triggered a furious row on social media, with the right blaming the new gender gap on what they see as excesses of identity politics and modern feminism, and the left blaming on what they see as toxic masculinity and a reactive anti-feminist misogyny. So in this video, we thought we'd take a look at the growing gender gap and the data behind it, some of its potential repercussions, and finally offer some tentative explanations for what might be causing it. Now, the first thing we need to say is that while we're obviously grateful to John B. Murdoch for drawing attention to the phenomenon, the Financial Times aren't the first to notice that women are becoming more liberal than men. The so-called gender gap was first observed in the late '90s and early 2000s when

academics started noticing that men were no longer more left-wing than women. Yep, you heard that right. While it might be hard to believe today, until the '80s and '90s, men tended to be more left-wing than women in the US. For example, women historically voted Republican but started moving towards the Democrats from the 1980 election onward. In fact, you can kind of see this in the FT graph where the Blue Line starts off slightly higher than the red one. While in the UK, young women suddenly veered towards labor at the 1992 election while young men did the opposite. This gender gap where men were more liberal than women and which lasted from the end of World War II until the '80s is known in the literature as the traditional gender gap. Conversely, the gender gap we see today where women are more liberal than men is known as the modern gender gap. But while the modern gender gap has existed for the past 30 years or so, that piece in the FT suggests that it's widened.

significantly in the past few years. With Gen Z now, because much of the data involve essentially uses party affiliation as a proxy for ideology, it's hard to say whether this is because young women are getting more liberal or young men are getting more conservative. For instance, while at first glance, the graphs apparently suggest that it's mainly women getting more liberal, with the notable exception of South Korea, it could instead be argued that women have stayed the same but conservative parties have moved right and taken young men with them, which would mean even more women voting for Liberal parties, even if their politics haven't changed. Anyway, whether it's men moving right or women moving left, it's at least true to say that the gap between the two sides has widened according to recent data. In this sense, there are now three gender gaps: the traditional gender gap running from World War II until about 1980 when men were more liberal than women, the modern gender gap running from 1980 until about 2020 where women were more liberal than men, and what we might describe as the

Gen Z gender gap, which began a couple of years ago, refers to the fact that young women are now much more liberal than young men. While ining causation is difficult, here it's plausible that this widening gender gap could have some pretty severe social consequences. For instance, some commentators have suggested that this widening political chasm could be contributing to declining marriage and fertility rates in the developed world. As South Korea's gender gap has widened, its marriage rate has declined, and it now has the widest gender gap and the lowest fertility rate in the world. But what actually explains this gender gap? Well, while there are obvious see a whole load of factors, research suggests that the most significant factor in the modern gender gap was actually secularization. In the 20th century, conservative parties like Christian Democratic parties in Europe had strong links to the Catholic Church, while liberal parties were generally more atheistic. So, as women were more religious than men, and religion is a key determinant of voting behavior, perhaps unsurprisingly, women voted more.

conservative. While women are generally still more religious than men, the decline of religion and its strength as a determinant in voting behavior meant that women shifted left in the latter part of the 20th century. Religion might also partly explain the Gen Z gender gap. General Social Survey data from America suggests that in the last couple of years, young women have suddenly become less religious than young men for the first time in post-war history. There are also clearly case-specific reasons for this too. South Korea's gender gap, for instance, seems to be closely related to the fact that South Korea is one of the most culturally conservative countries in the world, with a higher than average fraction of men saying that women shouldn't work and one of the worst work environments for women globally. While in Europe, some of the Gen Z gender gap seems to be partly driven by contrasting views on immigration more generally, though commentators often point to the polarizing and radicalizing effects of social media or the increasing salience of cultural issues like feminism.

identity politics. While these explanations might be intuitively plausible to some viewers, they're hard to actually prove with data, so we're not going to go into them in too much depth. However, one related and data-driven explanation is education. Women today often spend more years in education than men, and education has become an ever more important determinant of voting behavior, especially in the US and UK, where one of the best indicators for liberal voting intention is whether or not you went to university. Finally, though, one other explanation could be that the gender gap just doesn't exist. For starters, it doesn't actually show up in other data sets like the Cooperative Election Study or the General Social Survey. Now, to be fair, the Gallup polling used in the FT does have a larger sample size than the GSS and a lower non-response rate than the CES. But even then, some commentators have suggested that this data overstates the gender divide by focusing more on how men and women identify politically rather than actual policy preferences, i.e. the

difference between what's known as symbolic ideology and operational ideology. For evidence of this, take a look at this 2008 paper, which suggests that while younger generations of women are increasingly likely to vote or identify as left-wing than their male counterparts, the gap between them on actual policy and values remains pretty consistent. Data from 2020 suggests that something similar is true for Gen Z. While young women are far more likely to identify as left-wing, when you ask them about actual policies, the difference between men and women is pretty minor and hasn't grown significantly between generations. All in all, the Gen Z gender gap is, of course, worrying, but it is worth interrogating the data before adding it to our ever-growing list of societal catastrophes.

젊은 남성과 여성 사이의 정치적 격차 확대

트위터에서는 선진국 젊은 남녀 간의 정치적 격차가 점점 더 커지고 있음을 보여주는 그래프가 공개되어 격렬한 논쟁을 불러일으키고 있습니다.

남성이 여성보다 더 진보적이었던 전통적인 성별 격차는 이제 여성이 남성보다 더 진보적인 현대의 성별 격차로 바뀌었습니다.

90년대 후반에 처음 관찰된 이 현상은 최근 몇 년 동안 더욱 확대되어 그 잠재적 원인과 영향에 대한 논의가 계속되고 있습니다.

최근 몇 년 동안 정치적 성별 격차가 확대되면서 젊은 여성들이 젊은 남성보다 훨씬 더 진보적인 성향을 보이고 있습니다.

이러한 성별 격차의 변화는 한국의 사례에서 볼 수 있듯이 선진국의 결혼율과 출산율 감소의 원인이 되고 있습니다.

연구에 따르면 현대 성별 격차의 가장 중요한 요인은 세속화이며, 여성이 남성보다 더 종교적이어서 투표 행동의 차이로 이어진다고 합니다.

종교, 투표 행동, 문화에서 변화하는 성별 격차

종교의 쇠퇴는 여성의 투표 행태에 미치는 영향력을 약화시켜 20세기 후반에 여성들이 왼쪽으로 이동하게 만들었습니다.

Z세대의 종교성 성별 격차는 문화적 보수주의, 교육, 국가별 특수한 이유의 영향도 받습니다.

성별 격차의 존재 자체에 대한 의문이 제기되고 있으며, 일부에서는 실제 정책 선호도보다는 정치적 정체성에 초점을 맞춘 데이터 수집 방식에 기인한다고 주장하기도 합니다.

상징적 이데올로기와 운영 이데올로기의 차이점

2008년의 한 논문에 따르면 젊은 여성일수록 좌파 성향이 강하지만, 실제 정책에서 성별 격차는 일관되게 유지되고 있는 것으로 나타났습니다.

이러한 패턴은 남성과 여성의 정책 견해 차이가 미미한 Z세대에서도 나타납니다.
