A European Policy Centre report reveals that young Portuguese men are five times more likely to vote for far-right parties compared to women, highlighting a significant gender divide in political orientation among European youth. The trend shows that while men lean towards far-right ideals, women tend to support progressive movements. The report attributes this disparity to economic factors, particularly the precarious job market for young men without university degrees, leading them to embrace traditional masculinity and far-right ideologies. This growing gender gap poses risks to both gender equality and democratic values.
