We study the role of generations in the urban-rural divide, which is increasingly shaping the politics of many democracies.
Studying Switzerland, we show: The urban-rural divide is stronger among younger generations. (1/10) 🧵👇

Der Zugang zum Zivildienst soll ab 2026 erschwert werden und die Zulassungen um 40 Prozent gesenkt werden. Damit entfällt ein grosser Teil der Leistungen für die Landwirtschaft - beispielsweise für die Pflege von Weiden. Deshalb unterstützen wir das Referendum gegen die Änderung.

Zivildienstleistende erbringen einen unverzichtbaren Beitrag für die #Landwirtschaft. Ohne sie könnten die Arbeiten im Natur- und Landschaftsschutz nicht in gleichem Masse erledigt werden: «Würden die Zivis diese Arbeit nicht mehr machen, würden die Weideflächen verwuchern und irgendwann verwalden.»
Trotz Mangel: Bauernbosse stimmen für unattraktiveren Zivildienst
Zivildienst soll in der Schweiz unattraktiver werden. Auch Landwirtschaftsbosse machen sich dafür stark. Dabei sind Bergbauern auf Zivildienstler angewiesen.

Was SRF nicht verstehen will:
1. Es geht nicht um Kritik am „Arbeitgeber“, sondern um politische Entscheidungen, die diskutiert werden sollten – vor allem auch durch SRF-Journalist:innen. Ein „intern“
gibt es bei solchen Fragen, in einer öffentlich-rechtlichen Institution nicht.
