The Invisibles: A Very Relative Attachment to Democratic Values
Résumé
Usually the social class of the poor and often marginalized has not yet been in the focus of surveys so that this group can be seen as "invisibles" to research in a certain way. Nevertheless, questions like these arise: Are there differences in value patterns of this group compared to other social classes? Do they have a specific value system? And if so, is this system structured enough to be efficient in all European countries? The European Values Study allows to take a closer look at several value patterns of the precarious, for example concerning the attachment to democratic values. The social position of individuals was measured by the International SocioEconomic Index (ISEI), a synthetic linear index constructed from the occupations held, the level of income and the level of education modulated by age. 1 The scale, recoded in quartiles, can be cross-tabulated with all the value dimensions used in the European Values Study. The following text focuses on democratic values.
