?:abstract
  • "How do elected politicians fare in terms of their health compared to the general public? This paper explores four dimensions of reported health from an original survey of local councillors, regional MPs and mayors in Germany's most populous state North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), and compares the findings with the general German public that is further sub-divided in politically inactive and active citizens. Theoretically, the analysis widens the scope of resources and motivation of political participation by looking at physical characteristics of individuals. There is a clear increase in levels of health from least to most active for two dimensions of health (well-being and functional health). For sports activities as a measure of behavioural health, this pattern also holds except for professional politicians. Physical health, however, does not vary systematically across groups. The paper discusses the meaning of this additional layer of inequality between political elites and non-elites, next to education, income and gender. Given that health has its roots in a complex interplay of genes, upbringing, medical provisions, past and present behaviour, its relationship with political activity raises important questions about the meaning of health for access to democratic politics. [...] We use three different data sets form Germany: two general population surveys (The European Social Survey from 2014 and the General Social Survey from 2014 (ALLBUS)) - and one political elites study from 2015 that we conducted ourselves."
