Maximize hiring potential on LinkedIn: 70% of LinkedIn users don't visit other job sites, making it essential for businesses to post jobs there to reach a large pool of potential candidates. Stay informed about the evolving political views of young adults to effectively target hiring efforts.
LinkedIn is an essential platform for businesses looking to hire top talent, particularly professionals who may not be actively seeking new opportunities. With over 70% of LinkedIn users not visiting other leading job sites, businesses that don't post jobs on LinkedIn risk missing out on a large pool of potential candidates. Furthermore, there's a new and surprising trend emerging globally among young adults, with young women leaning more liberal or progressive and young men becoming more conservative in their political views. This divergence is not limited to specific countries but is a global phenomenon. In summary, businesses should utilize LinkedIn for hiring and stay informed about the evolving political views of young adults.
Gender divide in political views among young people: Young women and men hold differing political views in developed countries, driven by factors like education and societal changes. The specific causes and extent vary, with women being more liberal in some countries and men shifting right in others.
There is a growing divide between young women and young men in their political views, particularly in developed countries. This shift can be attributed to a combination of factors, including women's increasing likelihood of attending university and longer-term societal changes. However, the extent and causes of this divide can vary greatly depending on the specific country and the nature of the political questions being asked. For instance, in the UK, US, and Germany, the gap is largely due to women being more liberal, while in countries like Korea, Africa, and some Asian nations, it's more about men shifting to the right. It's important to note that these trends are complex and multifaceted, and cannot be attributed solely to one or two factors. Additionally, while some surveys include questions with explicit gender politics, many do not, making it essential to consider the broader context when interpreting the results.
The Generational Divide in Politics and Social Issues Widens: Young women are more liberal while young men shift towards the right, particularly in social issues. The Me Too movement and social media contribute to this trend.
The generational divide between men and women's views on politics and social issues has widened significantly, particularly in the wake of the Me Too movement and the increasing use of social media. In the US, this divide is around 30 points, with young women identifying as more liberal and men as more conservative. However, in countries like South Korea, the gap is much larger, with women identifying more progressively and young men shifting towards the right. The Me Too movement, which addresses sexual abuse and harassment of women, has galvanized women in South Korea and other countries, leading to a significant progressive shift. Young men, on the other hand, have different preoccupations. Social media plays a role in this trend by creating increasingly separate male and female online spaces.
Young men's frustration with limited job opportunities and perceived female advantage leads to anti-feminist sentiment: Young men's dissatisfaction with job prospects and perceived gender advantages fueled anti-feminist sentiment, which the conservative party exploited during elections, gaining their votes despite not sharing common beliefs on other issues.
Young men in certain societies, such as South Korea, are experiencing frustration due to limited job opportunities and the perceived advantage women now hold in accessing those jobs. This resentment has led to a significant anti-feminist sentiment among young men, which was exploited during the 2022 elections by the conservative party. By opposing gender equality policies and promising to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the conservative party successfully gained young male votes, despite not necessarily aligning with their political beliefs on other issues. The diverging views and votes of young men and women raise questions about the future of relationships and family dynamics.
The Persistence of Political Views: People's political views are often formed in early life and remain consistent throughout their lives. Acknowledging this trend is crucial in navigating a diverse and polarized society. In health care, being a little extra with UnitedHealthcare's supplemental insurance plans can help manage costs effectively.
People's political views and ideological positions tend to be established in early life and often remain consistent throughout their lives. According to John Byrne Murdoch of the Financial Times and research by doctor Hee Jong Chung, this trend holds true historically. Therefore, it's likely that the current generation of young people will carry forward their early-formed views as they age. It's essential to acknowledge this trend as we navigate the complexities of a diverse and polarized society. Meanwhile, in other news, a crocodile can't extend its tongue, and UnitedHealthcare offers short-term health insurance plans for flexible, budget-friendly coverage. While being a little extra is usually unnecessary, it pays off when it comes to health care. UnitedHealthcare's Health Protect Guard fixed indemnity insurance plans supplement primary plans, helping manage out-of-pocket costs without usual requirements and restrictions. So, when it comes to health care, being a little extra can go a long way. This week, we've explored the persistence of political views and the importance of being extra in health care.
