?:abstract
  • "This paper examines whether schooling has a causal impact on individuals' political interest, voting turnout, democratic values, political involvement and political membership, using two national representative samples. Between 1949 and 1969 the number of compulsory years of schooling was increased from eight to nine years in the Federal Republic of Germany, gradually over time and across federal states. These legislative changes allow one to investigate the causal impact of years of schooling on citizenship in a young democracy. Years of schooling are found to be positively correlated with a broad range of citizenship outcomes. However, when exogenous increase in schooling through legislative changes is used, there is little evidence of a causal effect. Several potential explanations are examined: (1) poor or apolitical teaching practices in the post-war period; (2) shortages of qualified teachers and adequate teaching material; (3) extra-curricular civic education; and (4) whether civic knowledge might have been acquired prior to the increase in schooling. The estimates reject the first three explanations, whereas ample historical evidence is in favour of the hypothesis that the fundamentals of democracy were learned already earlier in school." Der ALLBUS aus den Jahren 1980-2004 wird als Hauptdatensatz verwendet. Unter anderem werden die Daten dazu genutzt, um Aussagen über das politische Wahlverhalten oder die Mitgliedschaft in einer politischen Partei zu treffen. (xsd:string)
