- Abstract
In recent years, growing evidence has shown that welfare policies tend to favour the collective interests of elderly people at the expense of the new needs of groups that are entering adulthood. Studies conducted in several countries have found a growing gap between social spending amounts devoted to both groups. However, there has been considerably less research on the political processes leading to these outcomes. In this article we draw on the Spanish case to analyze how the dynamics of political agenda setting remains unresponsive to the interests and demands of young groups. We examine how cognitive maps, electoral incentives and political entrepreneurship impinged on decision-making processes during the first four mandates of the socialist party (1982-1996).
