Attitudes on Inequality and Injustice in Croatia

Inequality is one of the great challenges that 21st century democracies are facing. In Europe, the growing inequality is related to the decrease in the public support to democracy and, often, with the growing affinity towards the nationalist-populist leaders. The concern over inequalities grew after the financial crisis of 2008 and after the global COVID-19 pandemic that exposed some of the deep divisions within and among European peoples.
