Also in Italy politics is pushing young people toward extremes and dividing them: girls lean left, boys lean right. The girls are “progressive,” the boys are “against". A gender polarization that has been documented in all recent national elections, from the United States to Germany, and which is also confirmed among young Italians. Fratelli d'Italia: 15% among young men; 4.2% among young women. PD: 11% among females and 8.4% among boys. These are just a few of the findings from a study conducted by the Monitoring Democracy observatory at Bocconi University's Department of Social and Political Sciences. Party by party, alignment by alignment, the gender gap created by politics among electors aged 18 to 29 is increasingly confirmed. As a result, Forza Italia has a 5.1% among young men but only 1.4% among young women. Conversely, on the other side of the political spectrum, the Five Star Movement (M5S) reaches 18% among young women compared to 5.1% among young men. In general, the data collected by the Bocconi observatory indicate that 34% of young males "self-place" in the center-right, while 35% see themselves in the center-left. Among young women, the numbers shift significantly: 41% identify as center-left, while only 11% align with the center-right.
