Notes: OLS regressions where the dependent variable is the perceptions of equality expressed in Gini index equivalent (minimum value 20, maximum value 42). Columns 1 and 2 restricts the sample for those observation with valid information on the answer to the question “In deciding how much people ought to earn, how important should it be what is needed to support a family in your opinion?”. Column 3 restricts the sample to those who answered “Essential” or “Very important”. Column 4 restricts the sample to those who answered “Fairly important”. Column 5 restricts the sample to those who answered “Not very important” or “Not important at all”. Country and year dummies included in all regressions but not reported. Clustered standard errors at the country level in parentheses. Wild bootstrap country level clustered p-values in brackets. Significance: * p<0.10, ** p<0.05, *** p<0.01.

With respect to individual characteristics, Table 2c shows fewer differences than Table 2b and these are not always consistent. While employment differences are also more notable for the left and center individuals than for right-leaning individuals and gender appears to be relevant only for those in the center; age shows no large differences across groups and, if anything, is more important for individuals proxied as 33
