Granddaughter and voting for a female candidate
This study examines the influence of grandchildren's gender on grandparents' voting behavior using independently collected individual-level data. The survey was conducted immediately after the House of Councilors election in Japan. I observed that individuals with a granddaughter were more likely to vote for female candidates by around 10 % than those without. However, having a daughter did not affect the parents' voting behavior. Furthermore, having a son or a grandson did not influence grandparents' voting behavior. This implies that grandparents voted for their granddaughter's future benefit because granddaughters may be too young vote in a male-dominated and aging society.
