## Description
Long-term socialisation patterns are considered a key explanation for socio-economic inequalities in political participation. Material conditions in youth and childhood are assumed to contribute to rather stable trajectories of political apathy or involvement and lay the foundations for political inequality from before voting age and far into adulthood. However, our understanding of when such inequalities begin to become noticeable, the importance of parental as opposed to personal socio-economic status, and potential long-term consequences is still limited. Paul Marx and his co-author Sebastian Jungkunz address these issues using the youth questionnaire of the UK Household Longitudinal Study. They show that material deprivation in childhood still has a substantial negative effect on turnout when young adults reach the first election in which they are eligible to vote. This result holds when they control for an unusually exhaustive list of potential confounders, such as psychological childhood characteristics, parental political interest and education, present material conditions, mental health, and future educational degrees. They, hence, demonstrate that—while personal socio-economic experiences in early adulthood are not irrelevant — socio-economic family background has an independent, strong, and (probably) lasting effect on political participation.
