dc.description.abstractIn a time of increasing immigration and ethnic diversity, society is put under pressure. A recent report by the Dutch Scientific Council for Government Policy (2018) has shown that ethnic diversity is not only greater than previously thought in the Netherlands, but it also has some negative consequences, both economic and societal. Ethnic diversity is often linked with lower social spending and lower individual support for the welfare state. In this thesis, this link is analyzed in the Netherlands. Using two different survey datasets, individual support for redistribution is investigated and how it is affected by ethnic diversity. Several mechanisms are identified from the literature and tested. Contrary to most findings, ethnic diversity seems to increase individual support for redistribution, but it seems to be dependent on social trust. Contrary to expectation, salience of ethnic diversity seems to increase individual support for redistribution.en_US
