Jung, politisch, gespalten? Warum junge Männer und Frauen zunehmend unterschiedlich wählen.

In the organizer's words:

**This offer is aimed at young people up to the age of 30**

Men on the right, women on the left? Perhaps it's not quite that simple. And yet, for some years now, a political trend has been observed that is referred to in research as the political gender gap .

This refers to a growing difference in voting behavior: While young men are increasingly leaning conservative to the right, women of the same age tend to vote on the progressive left. This difference goes far beyond the cross on the ballot paper. It points to divergent perceptions in the digital and analog world, which are the basis for conflicting values.

The political gender gap is most pronounced in Generation Z, i.e. young men and women between the ages of 16 and 30. This event is therefore aimed precisely at them. We invite you to an open discussion: What about the political polarization of the sexes - in Lübeck, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany and globally? What factors are driving it and what role do social inequalities, patriarchal values and modern feminisms play in this context? And does the growing political gender gap actually represent a social problem?

They are:

• Gefjon Off, political scientist with numerous publications on the political gender gap, particularly in Europe.
• Nico Mokros, educational scientist and psychologist, co-editor of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation's "Mitte Study" 2025.

Moderation: Christine Strotmann / Amrei Falkson, FES North
