The increasing trend of women promoting traditional roles or seeking financial support, visible on social media, is analyzed as a response to socio-economic disillusionment. Experts suggest that while right-wing parties are gaining support among women across Europe, this is fueled by a sense of failed promises regarding economic independence, as current economic realities limit their ability to exercise it. Financial insecurity and job market difficulties contribute to this narrative, making the return to traditional aesthetics and values appealing as an escape. Although some evidence points to a rightward drift among youth, women continue to lead the vote for the left in Europe, and in some cases, the left maintains stronger support among young voters. Overall, political disaffection in Europe, stemming from economic instability, job precarity, and housing crises, manifests as either voter absence or support for the far-right. However, in several countries, despite the visible discontent and rightward leanings in some segments, the majority of young people still favor left-leaning or center-left coalitions.
