Women in the Grand Duchy have less confidence in democracy than men, according to a survey from the University of Luxembourg.
Women surveyed repeatedly display a "more cautious, critical and nuanced" attitude towards society, institutions and the workings of democracy, while the men are generally "more assertive and confident", according to the study, published last week by the university’s political observatory POLINDEX.
While men give "a presumption of legitimacy to Luxembourg's institutional structures", women think "more critically [and] more vigilantly, surely reflecting a heightened awareness of the limitations and dysfunctions of the system".
