  UN/DESA Policy Brief #91: The politics of economic insecurity in the COVID-19 era | Department of Ec

However, there is evidence that many of today’s economically insecure groups are experiencing rising insecurity about their position in society— that is, their socio-economic or cultural status relative to other groups. This same evidence suggests that insecurity about one’s position or relative status in society is weakening support among these groups for redistributive economic and social policies. (...) Political parties that stress in-group/out-group distinctions and amplify potential threats to an individual’s economic or cultural status see increased support. In the context of growing risks, including from COVID-19, climate change and technological innovation, Governments may consider placing a greater focus on threats to economic security while acknowledging concerns about changing social status.
